Filtering out HTML in searches
Filtering out HTML in searches
I'm using DataTables 1.10 along with its search function. In my table i have some html including a button in two cells. The text on said button is dynamic and therefore needs to be searchable, however i want to exclude the content of the button tags around it. Consider the following example
<td data-order="9000000000">
<button name="num[123]" class="btn btn-default">Dynamic Text</button>
</td>
When i use the search function over the table and search for "123" the row with the above cell and button is shown. From a user perspective this is quite confusing as nothing is actually shown to include 123.
Can i somehow make the search function not search inside the button tag, but only the actualy text (Dynamic Text) ?
