Hi,
I've been integrating with DataTables for a client, and we all love it. However, they've asked if the Clear button from the SearchPane extension can be made to clear the default Search by Keyword input.
I can't find a way to add second event to the button via the API.
So the route I think I need to take is to add a custom "Clear" button, which clears all search panes and empties the active search.
How would I code the button action to reset the Keyword and SearchPane selections both?
Handler
So far this is what I tried, and it didn't truly reset the search.
buttons: [
{
text: 'Clear',
action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
dt.search('');
}
}
],

You need to add
draw(), for example:You can right click and inspect the SearchPanes
Clear Allbutton to find the selector to use, something like this example:https://live.datatables.net/ximesucu/1/edit
