Using different name than column header name for SearchBuilder drop-down

bablaza

I need to include some HTML (a " ") and an asterisk in my column headers. SearchBuilder shows the characters " " in the field select for the one column, and of course shows the asterisk for the other.

Is there a way to tell SearchBuilder to use a different string for the column name in the field select?

OK, so the blanks there are for a non-breaking space " "

Hi @bablaza ,

SearchBuilder takes the column titles and strips out any html that it finds. There isn't an official way to set custom names for columns though I'm afraid.

That being said it may be possible to come up with some kind of hack using jQuery, but no nothing we would provide as standard.

Thanks,
Sandy

One option is to do something like this - it should do the trick. It's rewriting the table's header on each draw.

Appreciate the responses. There's so much that's customizable that I thought I would ask. Currently using jQuery to rewrite the <th>, but I think I'll try the redraw suggestion, as it's better bound to the table.
