Search

Sorry Line 1 needs to be inside the search plugin function like the: $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push( function(settings,data,dataIndex){ var role_id = $('#roles-select').val(); return $(users_table.row(dataIndex).node()).attr('data-role-id') == role_id; } ); Kevin

your code snippets: http://live.datatables.net/yamatige/1/edit Search Panes is working. Workaround:

$(document).ready(function() { $(':input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true); $('#datatableid').DataTable({ // "pagingType": "full_numbers", // "lengthMenu" : [ //[2,100,150,-1], // [2,100,150] //[2,25,50,-1], // [2,25,50,"All"] "pageLength": 15, "paging": true, "ordering": false, "info": false, "deferRender": true //], // responsive: true, // language: { //search: "_INPUT_", //searchPlaceholder:"search your data here", // } }); });

That's not a DataTables specific issue, it's more the case of how you're accessing the file. It would be best to search the web, as threads like this on SO are likely to point you in the right direction, Colin

select option and the search, and at the bottom

No, there's no other way, so the second code block would be the way to go. You could also add search: 'applied' to only get the rows that match the current search criteria. Colin

a state that the search input is empty after

datatable is available (with search / entries / paging) Maybe i

Yeah, it was my bad. Adding "f" at the end of the line added search box at the bottom, that is why I could not see it.

Yep, both are possible. For 1, you can load a search using the API, see example here. And for 2, you can use stateSave to save the search info for that particular user, see example here. Colin
