Moving the element outsite of the table

pni8ac

Hi,

I want to put the search textbox and the number of item display in a div that already exist.
I tried using this:
[code]'fnDrawCallback': function() {
$('.dataTables_filter').appendTo($('#options'));
}[/code]
But when I type something in the textbox, I lose focus on it

To be honnest, if I could write the input, and than link it to the datatable, it would be ever more awesome!

you can use your own input box and call fnFilter with the input as text is changed or user hits enter, etc.

you can take out the default filter in sDom

And what about pagination and number of element by page?
