How to filter multiple columns and ajax data ?

Salines

Hi people,
I need advice and guidance,
datatable load data via Ajax, and display only a few columns.

Now I need to put ten input fields that will filter columns, including hidden ones. When a user typing in a field eg company, I need to restore the data from the server, specifically for that column.

thank you

you might wanna check out my yadcf plugin for datatables, for filtering hidden columns you could place the filters outside using the filter_container_id property, find more details and usage example on the showcase http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/

Hi Daniel,

Is it possible to use your plugin filter fields outside the table?
I need ten filter fields, but the table only contains four columns.

yes, use the filter_container_id property , see usage in the showacse http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/DOM_source.html (Dates column) , read docs in the js file and inspect showcase pages
