Grey boxes for TableTools when disabled

Grey boxes for TableTools when disabled

edited March 2014 in TableTools
I've installed TableTools and all buttons except the last one for Print are these grey boxes. If I hover over them an X appears, no text. It does not look very good. Is this intentional or are there issues with styling? I am using Chrome 33.0.1750.152

If I disable position: relative for a.DTTT_button, then all of them work except the first one, which still stays grey. Cant see how to fix that one.

Thanks

    Ah, I found the issue. I didnt realise this uses Flash. When I found out I remembered I have disabled plugins to run automatically in my browser because I am sick of going to websites that have videos play automatically! Usually there is a message saying to click to play the plugin. As these boxes are really small, you cant see that message, its just a grey box, and a cross appears when you hover over.

    Might be worth showing a message, if possible, if flash is not supported or disabled.

    All working now though!

    Interesting. Yeah - the Flash requirement is a massive pita. I would seriously love to drop it. I wrote a blog post about it recently: http://next.datatables.net/blog/2014-01-31 . Basically we can't yet.

    But you are right, I need to show a better message. I'll look into that.
