How to style the search text

kevgray

Hello, how can I style the literal "search" to show as a light text color on a dark background.

Thanks.

Hi Kev,

You can use CSS like this example here:

.dataTables_filter input {
  color: white;
  background-color: black; 
}

Cheers,

Thanks Colin, that works, but perhaps I was a little vague, it's the text labels I want to style -

Hi @kevgray ,

Now they're red here. The thing to do is just use developer tools "inspect" the element you want to colour - normally you can get the id/class/element fairly easily.

Cheers,

Colin
