r - gvisTables not rendering in Shiny apps -

the actual issue i'm trying solve: i'm creating dashboard include data tables. numbers formatted commas thousands separators, there (apparently) issue dt package when it's used shiny, in comma-separated formatting causes dt::renderdatatable read in numbers character, affects how numbers sorted. (dt's number formatting functionality not work shiny, appears.)

where i'm @ far: solution i've been able find use googlevis instead of dt create tables. i'm running different issue (described below), care having data tables comma-separated numbers sort numbers.

the googlevis issue: when use gvistable outside of shiny apps, render fine, not render @ when using rendergvis , htmloutput in shiny. example, i'll borrow example 4 here.

not using shiny, code looks this:

library(datasets) library(googlevis)  myoptions <- list(page='enable', pagesize=10, width=550)  table <- gvistable(population,options=myoptions)  plot(table) 

using shiny, it's this:

library(datasets) library(googlevis) library(shiny)  shinyapp(   ui = pagewithsidebar(     headerpanel("example 4: pageable table"),     sidebarpanel(       checkboxinput(inputid = "pageable", label = "pageable"),       conditionalpanel("input.pageable==true",                        numericinput(inputid = "pagesize",                                     label = "countries per page",10))     ),     mainpanel(       htmloutput("mytable")     )   ),   server = function(input,output){     myoptions <- reactive({       list(         page=ifelse(input$pageable==true,'enable','disable'),         pagesize=input$pagesize,         width=550       )     })     output$mytable <- rendergvis({       gvistable(population,options=myoptions())     })    } ) 

any appreciated!

i solved own problem. turns out rstudio's native browser has difficulty displaying googlevis exhibits through shiny. needed open in firefox... don't think i've ever felt "woot" , "ugh" @ same time before.
