change filtering behavior in ie6

akantro11

my users that use ie6 complain that once they start typing in the filter bar it simply freezes. my guess is this is due to the key press filtering of the html table. In firefox, chrome it works fine / fast. Is there anyway i can have alternative behavior in ie6 were it doesn't search/ filter until someone hits the enter key.

this actually might be useful in general anyway as you dont waste anytime with extraneous searches.

just to note, i have about 200 rows in my table with 14 columns.

any thoughts?

Hi akantro11,

Interesting - I've not come across this problem before, and it appears to work in a quick test for me. Perhaps you could post a link showing an example with the problem?

You could 'unbind' the search event handler on the text input (a trick which is used in this plug-in: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnSetFilteringDelay ) and then only do the filtering when the return key is encountered by adding your own event handler - but there isn't a built in way to do this, since it should already work :-)

Regards,
Allan
