How can I autofill the searchfield?

envy

Hello community,

I am looking for a solution to autofill the "Search field" with a "onclick event". As I am not really deep in java and html, I am asking for a solution here.

I have 10 keywords above my datatable. When I click on one keyword i want to filter it in the table. My solution would be

onclick= "div.dataTables_filter input:Keyword" but it does not work.

Thank you in advance.

Use the fnFilter method. It will automatically fill in the input box.

Thank you. It works fine :)

Is it also possible to make external search links?

What means, the link is on page 1 (index.htm) the datatable is on page 2 (tools.htm). When I click on a link on page 1 I want to open page 2 with oTable.fnFilter('Keyword');

Not built into DataTables, but no reason why you couldn't use a few lines of script to do it.
