Search

if I had a search parameter and redrawing the

the capital `D` table.rows( { search: 'applied' } ).data().toArray(); Note also

use jQuery selector to search for hidden columns as

I'm only an user from datatables. But I had search for retrieving hidden values. And I found a script maybe you can use to retrieve normal columns. The first part can be needed for problems with pagination. https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/35210/jquery-doesnt-take-hidden-td#latest

suggestion and a little search, I found this link

$("#vendor-messages-list").DataTable({ "columnDefs": [ { "visible": false, "targets": [11] }, { "orderData": 11, "targets": [0] } ], "language": { "search": "Filter Search:" }, "lengthMenu": [[25, 50, 75, 100, 200, -1], [25, 50, 75, 100, 200, "All"]], "order": [[3, "asc"]], "pageLength": 25, "pagingType": "full_numbers" }); defaults: $.extend($.fn.dataTable.defaults, { responsive: true });

Yes, but I only got the index of the column and the search value, how can I get the name of the column ?

improved site and forum search which I think will

Yes, definitely my doing. It was being reset somewhere in the code, not to collide with the default DataTables search box (while we still had it). Please disregard, works fine.

how can I do that? As far as I am aware there is no option for that with an HTML select element. A quick Google search found this SO thread for example. Allan
