Button right next to the main search field

AndersHP

Hi,

How could i insert a button to the right of the main search field? I need a search clear button, but not for the main searchfield only(i know theres one already) - also for the individual column ones.

I know how to do the clearing, but not how to insert at button in the datatables part of the dom.

Thanks in advance :)

Ok, i can do this in the datatables initComplete:

$("#maintable_filter").append("<button> Something</button>")

Seems a little hackish though, so if you have a better solution let me know. :)

Currently the other option is to write a feature plug-in.

It isn't an ideal situation I realise and the next major version of DataTables should address this.
