sFilter parameter not working.

My understanding from the documentation is that setting sFilter in the parameters passed when creating a table will set the class for the _filter div. This is not happening for me.

I want the filter div to float left in only 1 table.

I still have no idea what I am doing. Shouldn't setting this option,

sFilter : myFilterClass

change the class of the filter div as in the 'Styling > Custom Classes' section? I can move the div around using sDom, but I want to change the box properties.

sFilter isn't an initialisation option (all of which are listed here: http://datatables.net/ref ), but rather a styling option, which can be set like this:

[code]
$.fn.dataTableExt.oStdClasses.sFilter = "whatever";
[/code]

That can then be used to target your own CSS. THe default class name is "dataTables_filter".
