select text and in the same table

hi,

like in the picture, How do I do that

bindrid

depends. Basically you add a second header row with the appropriated control (text boxes or select boxes or whatever) in the th so it looks something like

        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Name</th>
                <th>Position</th>
                <th>Office</th>
                <th>Age</th>
                <th>Start date</th>
                <th>Salary</th>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th> <input type='text'> </th>
                <th><input type='text'></th>
                <th><select><option value='Tokyo'>Tokyo</option></select></th>
                <th> <select><option value=20>20</option></select> </th>
                <th><input type='text'></th>
                <th><input type='text'></th>
            </tr>
        </thead> 

Then you add the appropriate event handlers to trigger the search.

It becomes more complicated depending on such things as scroller turned on, or serverSide set to true.

I have not seen anything to make me think these feature are already built into DataTables. I can build you a working example if you like but it will be a while before I can get to it.
