You've posted screenshots with any explanation three times now... We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin

Thanks for the answer @kthorngren it helps me a lot.

Maybe this option will work. Build your select inputs into a hidden div. Then in initComplete move the inputs to the dom toolbar. Something like this: http://live.datatables.net/ruwohuxe/3/edit Kevin

Is this with Editor? Or filtering? There are a few threads on each, such as here and here, Colin

OMG! I wrote a huge response when I saw the SearchBuilder Extension (Q)! I think this may solve some of the issues I had on many of my pages. I will look into this. Thank you!

See if this thread helps. Kevin

Try the nightly version of FixedColumns which makes this kind of thing much easier. You'll need to use the nightly CSS as well. Allan

The select box appears in header form, between "Show X rows" and "Search" => I didn't find how to do that at all See if this example of adding custom toolbar elements helps. When requesting results to the server, the value always appears in query string => Using a function as ajax.data seems to do the job => That is the way recommended way, see this example. The select box is always having a value, it has a default value and it uses it for the first request Thats up to you, Datatables won't control the custom select input. When selecting another value, the table immediately refresh and show new results => Using ajax.reload() should be ok => That'll work. Another alternative is to use draw() if you are using server side processing (serverSide: true). Kevin

This is great, thank you!

You are going to need to elaborate on your question for me. Are you looking to replicate the code you have there with our Editor PHP libraries, or something else? If you are, then: $editor->where(function ($q) use ($request) { if ($request->first_name) { $q-where('first_name', '%'.$request->first_name.'%', 'LIKE'); } ... }) Would do it. See the documentation here. Allan
