[SOLVED]Hook Question

Sounds like your loading the data via your controller at least you should be. And your more than likely using a conditional statement such as:

Code:

if($this){
    $this->load->view('yourview');
}else{
    $this->load->view('yourview');
}

If this is the case why not try adding variable in the condition like so:

Code:

if($this){
    $data['tablewasloaded'] = TRUE;
    $this->load->vars($data);
    $this->load->view('yourview');
}else{
    $data['tablewasloaded'] = FALSE;
    $this->load->vars($data);
    $this->load->view('yourview');
}

In your footer view:

Code:

if($tablewasloaded){
    // Show something here
}

Kind of a quick example but should get your started.
