datatable search input tabindex is wrong

    I have a jsp page that has 3 datatables. It also has several tabbable controls (input, anchors, etc) separate from the tables as well as anchors within the tables. I have tabindex on all the tabbable controls. When tabbing through the rendered document, the search inputs on the 3 tables are the last items tabbed. Is there a way to get the search boxes to be in tab order by giving them an explicit tabindex?

    Does http://datatables.net/ref#iTabIndex cover what you need?

    I've done that and it worked for me.

    My tables are created after the document is built so using that code won't work. Can you use iTabIndex when the table is created? In my case this would be after the document is already built. The table creation occurs on a button click event.

    Can you use iTabIndex when the table is created?

    You can only use it when you call $(...).dataTable({ ... }); for the first time for a given table. If that isn't enough for you, then you can alter the attributes using standard jQuery calls with $(...).attr();

    That's a good idea. I'll give that a try.
