fnSetFilteringDelay Plugin Column Header Search

zepernick

I was trying to figure out how to get the delay plugin to work when using the column header search instead of the global search. I came up with the code below if this is useful to anyone else:

[code]
jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oApi.fnSetFilteringDelay = function (oSettings, iDelay) {
var _that = this;
if ( iDelay === undefined ) {
iDelay = 250;
}

this.each( function ( i ) {
$.fn.dataTableExt.iApiIndex = i;
var
$this = this,
oTimerId = null,
sPreviousSearch = null,
anControl = $( 'input', _that );
// console.log(anControl.length + " Controls Found");
anControl.unbind( 'keyup' ).bind( 'keyup', function() {
var $$this = $this;
var value = this.value;
var index = $( 'input', _that ).index($(this));
// console.log("Running Keyup " + this.value + " index " + $( 'input', _that ).index($(this)));

if (oTimerId != null) {
// console.log("clear timer...");
window.clearTimeout(oTimerId);
}

oTimerId = window.setTimeout(function() {
$.fn.dataTableExt.iApiIndex = i;
// console.log("running filter " + value + " index " + $( 'input', _that ).index($(this)));
_that.fnFilter( value, index);
// console.log("done running filter");
}, iDelay);
});

return this;
} );
return this;
};
