adding placeholder="" to the filter text input

seanjohnson

I'm trying to figure out how to customize the placeholder text for the search/filter text input. Any suggestions?

Were you able to get this done? I am just trying to figure out the same thing. I want placeholder text on the filter textbox instead of a label.

Nevermind. Figured I'd just do it after the fact:

[code]$('.dataTables_filter input').attr("placeholder", "enter seach terms here");[/code]
