autofocus input search

FlavioC16

I would like to implement the "autofocus" function in the search field of my table, is this possible?

Check out this thread, especially Kevin's answer with the initComplete example.

Thanks for replying, but I'm new in the area, this type of code "initComplete" is not working in httm5 in conjunction with javascript

Please provide a link to your page or a test case showing the problem so we can help debug. You can update my below example.

Allan's solution in that thread works here:

Thanks for helping with this issue, the issue was resolved this way.

$(document).ready( function () {
var table = $('#dataTable').DataTable();
function foco(){
$('div.dataTables_filter input', table.table().container()).focus();
}
setTimeout(foco, 1)
});

Does not work with version 2. Does anyone here have a solution?

I opened the test case I linked to above:
http://live.datatables.net/puxafaga/1/edit

And its working. Its using the Datatable nightly version which are the builds leading up to the next 2.x version. If this doesn't work for you then please post a link to a test case showing the issue. Possibly put the code in the ready() function so it executes after Datatables is fully ready.
