input filter field already-filled through incoming URL

Christian Bonato

Hi Allan,


I would like to be able to load a page with results already filtered based on a var that I'm going to bring in through the URL, using PHP's $_GET[]...

Is it feasible ?

To load a Datatable already filtered, with the search string already in the input field ?

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Christian,

Yes you can use oSearch to apply an initial filter: http://datatables.net/usage/options#oSearch . Just put your GET variable into the sSearch property.

Allan, you're great.

I almost forgot how complete was DataTables and how clear the online manual is.
I should have checked first.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Best regards,
Christian
