Hello, How do I add an aria-label= to the <label> tag on the search input field?
thanks

In the initComplete add this code

     $('#example_filter label).attr('aria-label', 'myInput');

'example' is the table id value.

HI can you show me where it goes in here thanks:

$(document).ready(function(){ $('#sessionalPapersTable').dataTable( { "paging": false, "ordering": false, "info": false } ); });

I've tried this but it doesn't work:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#sessionalPapersTable').dataTable( {

"initComplete": function(settings, json) {
$('#sessionalPapersTable label).attr('aria-label', 'Start typing to filter results in the table below');
}
} );
});

Shot in the dark, instead of attr. Try prop
