Custom column filters on the top

frenzy

Hi,

I am using datatables with custom individual column sorting (http://www.datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html) and it works great, but i was just wondering is there a simple solution to put the column filter fields on the top, right below the column headers row, instead of putting it in the footer of the table (it is more accessible this way, if, for instance, pagination length is 50 or more). I know I can put them above the table, but this should be more convenient if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Put the filter row stuff into the THEAD as TDs (not THs) and change the [code]$("tfoot input")[/code] stuff to [code]$("thead input")[/code]

Doh! I feel so dumb for not figuring this out by myself. But, thanks a lot mate!

There is a plug-in for DataTables which can help with this kind of thing as well: http://jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/index.html
