Search

As noted in the forum rules, link to a test case please. Allan

Is it possible to initialize the search input text on load with a string taken from the URL ? Use the oSearch option to specify an initial search. You'd use the window.location option in Javascript to get information from the url. Allan

tried doing this not working [code] $("#renderingSportFilter").each( function ( i ) { this.innerHTML = fnCreateSelect( oTableLeague.fnGetColumnData(1)); //1 sportid = fnCreateSelect( oTableLeague.fnGetColumnData(5)); //1 $('select', this).change( function () { oTableLeague.fnFilter($('sportid').val() ,$(this).val() ); } ); } );[/code]

Allen, Thank you again. I was SO CLOSE!!! As you can see from my code, I was putting "All" as the value when I should have put it as the text for the option tag. DataTables takes the value of the "empty string" to display all of the values in the column. By default DataTables has no text for the for the option where the value is the "empty string." I hope that my question helps others. You may want to consider making "All" the default text for the option tag. Again I can only say, "Doh!"

Thanks for such a fast reply, I'll check that build right away :)

I don't quite understand I'm afraid. The page you linked to is already using DataTables 1.9.4 - the current release. What aspect are you looking to optimise? Allan

Hello allan, I've tried to insert the code from the example and this is what I get: Before inserting the code: http://i.imgur.com/kRjJbEM.png After: http://i.imgur.com/c2HtqVx.png PS: I have modified Editor/examples/bootstrap.html to my needs, as you can see if I do not insert any new buttons or customizations (like column filtering,etc), it works properly, but if I try to insert something new it collapses.

This was a bug that was introduced in 1.9.4 by mistake. It is fixed in git or 1.9.3 if you want to run not he bleeding edge or downgrade. Sorry for the trouble :-( Allan

Possibly yes. Perhaps a better option would be '\b'+sSearch ? Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Allan (thinking perhaps there should be a 'wish list' of features that we can all vote on...)

But why do you need that. There's problem with "bStateSave". If you are one page 1000 and you reload page and after reloading DataTable doesn't have so many pages(for example not 1000 but 500) it is still set on the 1000 page, and you have manually back to first to display records.
