Search

Basically you can't - its a private function. What I would suggest is you create a custom feature plug-in which just calls fnFilter (which is basically all _fnFilterCreateSearch does after it has made the input box). See: http://datatables.net/blog/Creating_feature_plug-ins Allan

Thanks Allan! Looks good, and it looks like what I was looking for.

Oh wow :) That was simple. Thank you so much!

I was able to figure it out using $sGroup = "GROUP BY accounts.accountname"; Added $sGroup after $sWhere Thank you

Agreed - sDom is how to control what controls DataTables adds to the document. Allan

you can use fnServerParams see the reference documentation on http://datatables.net/ref [quote] It is often useful to send extra data to the server when making an Ajax request - for example custom filtering information, and this callback function makes it trivial to send extra information to the server. The passed in parameter is the data set that has been constructed by DataTables, and you can add to this or modify it as you require. [/quote] you can push the value of your checkbox onto the aoData array [code] $(document).ready( function() { $('#example').dataTable( { "bProcessing": true, "bServerSide": true, "sAjaxSource": "scripts/server_processing.php", "fnServerParams": function ( aoData ) { aoData.push( { "name": "status", "value": $('#my_secret_checkbox').val() } ); } } ); } ); [/code]

sorry for double posting, working link here http://s24.postimg.org/uyat0hw5x/image.jpg

Its possible using Editor 1.2.3 and the attr option for the fields: http://editor.datatables.net/fields/#text . [code] editor.add( { "label": "Name:", "name": "name", "attr": { "placeholder": "Your name" } } ); [/code] The attr option is attractive because it allows any HTML attribute to be controlled on the input element. Regards, Allan

How about using the placeholder attribute: http://live.datatables.net/uhaxez/edit#javascript,html Allan
