ID for moved search box

emil

Hi,
the solution to my question is probably very simple.
I moved my search box using:

initComplete : function() {
$("#example_filter").detach().appendTo('#new-search-area');
}

but now my search box has no ID:

<input type="search" class="" placeholder="" aria-controls="example">

Is there a way to add the ID?

Thanks,

I don't believe the search box DataTables adds ever has an id. It certainly wouldn't be stripped just because you moved it. What makes you think it had an id in the first place?

It probably never had one. Is there a way to assign it an ID value? It would help me a lot with further programming.

$("#example_filter input").prop( 'id', ... ) would do it.

Thank you Allan!

      initComplete : function() {
             $("#example_filter input").prop( 'id', 'search_box' );
             $("#example_filter").detach().appendTo('#new-search-area');
        },

assigns id="search_box" and then moves it to the new div.
