Question

Show entries dropdown disappear when using export tools

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        dom: 'Bfrtip', // if you remove this line you will see the show entries dropdown
        buttons: [
            'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'

You just lack the l flag in dom. l for "length changing input control".

dom: 'lBfrtip'

will make the dropdown to reappear.
