could anyone please answer my 3 DataTables-related questions?

I’m trying to use DataTables in the PHP script displaying weekly players of my game in Russian language, but:

enter image description here

  1. I can’t find the option for localizing the Showing 1 to 20 of 3,558 entries string
  2. My buttons for First Next 1 2 3 4 5 Prev Last are way too the right in MSIE 7 and Chrome and even make the horizontal scrollbar appear, how could I move them to the left a bit? In Firefox 3.6.15 the page looks completely broken 🙁
  3. How do you enable the jQuery UI ThemeRoller support?

For the last item I’ve tried:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
        $("#rating").dataTable( {
                "bJQueryUI": true,

but it hasn’t produced the nice looking table.

Thank you for your help!

    To answer #3:

    You have already enabled ThemeRoller Support with that option; but all the option does is enable the ability to add jQuery UI-specific classes to your table.

    With the classes added, you still need to reference a jQuery UI stylesheet (sample below; yours will be different).

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom-folder-name/jquery-ui-1.8.8.custom.css" />

    Themeroller themes will also have a bunch of images that are a part of the theme, located as a subfolder of custom-folder-name. You don’t necessarily need everything the ThemeRoller package produces, so you can sort of pick and choose; or keep the whole directory intact and only reference what you need. It’s just a few bytes on the server to keep the unused stuff in place!

    The sample seems to be cut a bit short, so you might already be doing this– but don’t forget that the last item of the initialization can’t have a comma after it.
