Pressing esc on column filter

GrantSoldge

Hi everyone,

when I focus on a column filter field, the info text (for example "Search engines") disappears and field is empty. But when I press the esc key without entering any char, the info text appears again and becomes value of the field and column is filtered according to "Search engines".

Have a nice day,

In this example: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/multi_filter.html ? I don't seem to get the same effect as you - the info text doesn't reappear for me (using Safari).

Oh ok, I have just tried with IE and Chrome and it works. It seems to be a problem of Firefox. Thanks for your reply.

I have found a solution. It may be usefull for others:

[code]
$("tfoot input").keydown(function(e) {
if(e.keyCode == 27) {
$(this).addClass("search_init");
}
});
[/code]

Better:

[code]
$("tfoot input").keyup(function(i) {
if(i.keyCode == 27) {
this.className = "search_init";
this.value = settings.asInitVals[$("tfoot input").index(this)];
settings.oTable.fnFilter("", $("tfoot input").index(this));
} else {
this.className = "";
settings.oTable.fnFilter(this.value, $("tfoot input").index(this));
}
});
[/code]
