Search

Aha, gotcha . Appreciate your patience. So many features, so much to learn Thanks again

i have done..!!! <table class="col-sm-12"> <tbody> <tr id="filter_global" class="col-sm-12"> <td class="col-sm-6"> <b> Use Smart Search :</b> <input type="checkbox" class="global_filter" id="global_smart"> </td> <td align="center" class="col-sm-6"> <b> Search :</b> <input type="text" class="global_filter" id="global_filter"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> function filterGlobal () { $('#activeNodeList').DataTable().search( $('#global_filter').val(), $('#global_regex').prop('checked'), $('#global_smart').prop('checked') ).draw(); } $('#activeNodeList').dataTable( { "dom": '<"col-sm-12"<"col-sm-6"l>><"col-sm-12"t><"col-sm-12"i><"col-sm-12 text-center"p>', "search": {"smart": false}, "columnDefs": [ { orderable: false, targets: [ -1 ] } ] } ); $('input.global_filter').on( 'keyup click', function () { filterGlobal(); } );

incidentally, the page you linked has an example on it that is missing the .api() command from it. In the example? No - it doesn't need .api() since it uses $().DataTable();. If $().dataTable() were used, then yes it would need api() - see the FAQs. Allan

Hey Finally i found This https://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html works, but you need to use .DataTable in place of .dataTable (all works with d, but not the search ... )

In case it helps someone else, here's what worked for me: var table = $('#example').DataTable(); $('ul').on( 'click', 'a', function () { table .columns( 1 ) .search( $(this).text() ) .draw(); });

I find myself and answr: allanallan Posts: 23,403Questions: 0Answers: 659 February 2013 As I said earlier and in other discussions, fundamentally TableTools' client-side processing is not compatible with server-side processing. The whole point of server-side processing is that the full data set is at the server and not the client, while if you want to use TableTools for a full export, you need the full data set on the client-side. That's a design decision you need to make - which you want.

what?

one option would be to use yadcf for that... ;) http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/server_side_source.html

Yes, I found it through the Firebug tools.

look at all the examples, the desire is the same as http://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html but change the age. That filters greater than or less than
