body: <p>I have the following datatable:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(function() {
      var dataTableColumns = [
          { "sType": "numeric" },     null, null, null, null, null,
          null, null, null, null, null, { "sType": "date-dayofweek" },
          null, null, null, null, null, null, { "sType": "date-dayofweek" },
          null, null, null, null, null, 
          null, null, null, null, null,
          null, null, null, null,

          null, null, null, null,

      oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
          "bPaginate" : true,
          "aaSorting": [ [0,'asc'] ],
          "aoColumns" : dataTableColumns,
          "oLanguage": {
              "sLengthMenu": 'Show &lt;select&gt;'+
                  '&lt;option value="10"&gt;10&lt;\/option&gt;'+
                  '&lt;option value="25"&gt;25&lt;\/option&gt;'+
                  '&lt;option value="50"&gt;50&lt;\/option&gt;'+
                  '&lt;option value="100"&gt;100&lt;\/option&gt;'+
                  '&lt;option value="-1"&gt;All&lt;\/option&gt;'+
                  '&lt;\/select&gt; records'
          },
          "iDisplayLength": -1,
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
