Columns with input fields are not searchable

jimbju

Hi,

I'm manipulating a column and converting it to a input field (https://datatables.net/examples/api/form.html). When I convert it to a input field, it is no longer searchable. I was thinking that I could duplicate the column and hide the duplicate, but I can't find any way to accomplish this. Is there a way to solve my problem?
Thanks!

Best regards,
Jim

See if this example helps:
http://live.datatables.net/zukacehi/69/edit

Its setup for the first two columns. It uses the technique shown in Live DOM sorting example for sorting. It uses cell().invalidate() to force Datatables to update its data when the input changes. It uses Orthogonal data for the filter operation's value to be the input's value.
