Home Page Search to Link to Filtered DataTable

jamiedewitz

Hi all,

I'd like to know how I can create an extra page that will search my datatable then return a separate page with the datatable already filtered with the correct results.

Long story short, I already put in all the work on my datatable, presented it, and was told that the initial page should be ONLY a search box. I just want to keep everything I already have and create a new page to keep the additional work to a minimum.

I'm using MVC C#.NET and client-side datatables jquery, not sure if any of that matters. Thanks in advance.

You can use tabs or a hidden div and load the table normally. Create a text input and in the event handler for the input use search() to search the table and show the tab or show the hidden div. Here is a very simple example:
