Input pagination doesn't show when retrieving data via ajax

Hi!

Just upgrading to latest version of datatables and the plugins and noticed that when the number of pages is zero (when the table is initialised), the pagination helper is hidden. When the ajax call returns, the fnUpdate is called and the pagination controls are rebuilt but the outer pagination element is not shown again.

I have fixed it by adding:

$(an).show();

after the loop is rendered in "fnUpdate". So it becomes:

            /* Loop over each instance of the pager */
            for (var i = 0, iLen = an.length ; i < iLen ; i++)
            {
                var spans = an[i].getElementsByTagName('span');
                var inputs = an[i].getElementsByTagName('input');
                spans[3].innerHTML = " of " + iPages;
                inputs[0].value = iCurrentPage;
            }

            $(an).show();

Is this acceptable or did I perhaps did something wrong?

Cheers!

Start at the pagination plug-in's fnUpdate function and reproduce initialization with zero pages followed by an AJAX response. The work is done when the rebuilt pagination controls and their outer pagination element are visible after the update.
