Column search in datatables not working

PareshBafna

Hi,
The column search in the datatable does not seem to work if i add scrollY. Is there any way to add both the search columns and the scroll?
Thanks.

We should be able to make it work for you. Can you create a test case of what you have so we can help? The answer will be different depending on whether you have header or column searches and if you are using select inputs or text inputs.

Hi @kthorngren, I'm using footer column search.

When using scrollY you need to provide a string that is the height you want the table to be not a boolean. However to answer your question the Datatables scrolling options clone the header and display the cloned header instead of the original. You need to create the header inputs before initializing Datatables. Here is your updated example:
