datatables .search for multiple tables

Muhahe

Hi,

is it possible to perform datatables .search on multiple tables for one column?

Something like this?

$(tablesSelectors).DataTable().column(column_number).search(searchVal, regex, smart, caseInsen).draw();

tableSelectors contain ids of tables on which i wana perform search

Hi,

Yep, one way could be:

$(tablesSelectors).DataTable().columns([1]).search(serachVal, regex, smart, caseInsen).draw();

It will filter the second column in all those tables...

Thanks, it seems it works if i specify .columns([1]). But dunno why it wont work before :) maybe some little troll

Yup, that what I'm gonna use in yadcf :)

yes, i was inspired by your yadcf code :) and made a little change, but somehow it only filtered one table. But then i switched it to hard coded .columns([1]), now it worked for first column, then i switched back and miracle happens! it works now :D i must try it tomorrow if magic isnt gone
