I did it by myself. initComplete: function () { var ctr = -1; this.api().columns().every(function () { ctr++; var column = this; //action if (ctr == 1) { ($(column.footer()).empty()).html(); } //for all other append textbox else { var input = document.createElement("input"); $(input).appendTo($(column.footer()).empty()) .on('keyup change', function () { column.search($(this).val(), false, false, true).draw(); }); } }); Thanks.
