Assign an ID to the search input

fangy

Hello,
i'm unable to assign via Jquery an ID to the input search ( i neet to get the value for php use).

$('#tabella_filter label input').on("focus", function(event){
$('#tabella_filter label input').attr('id', 'cerca');

});

this doesnn't work.
Some suggesions?

thanks in advance

You want to assign an id on focus? Unusual, but fair enough :-). The code you have should work, although you could do this.setAttribute( 'id', 'cerca' ); in the event handler.

well, i've tried to assign even without the binding 'on', but without success. :(
and again, it doesn't works :(

To tell the truth, the code

$ ('# tabella_filter label input').attr ('id', 'search');

if entered from the console after page loading, it works! but not if executed in page.

Seems to work entirely as expected for me: http://live.datatables.net/wojumuva/1/edit .

Please link to a test case showing the issue.
