brando899

I have 2 datatables and each search box has the same name. first search box says "Search:" on 1 page, and I want to Name the Other Search Box Something Else Like "Enter Zip Code:" Reason is because each datatable has different information. How can this be accomplished? Thanks

language.search should do what you want;

I'm still confused sorry, how to use language.seach to provide each search box a specific name above each datatable? Do I need 2 separate JavaScript DataTable Files 1 for Each Search Box?

Are you initializing both Datatables with the same init code? If so then you can use HTML 5 Data Attributes to define different options for each Datatable. This example sets the search label for the first table to `Table 1 Search1:

Is this what you are looking for?
