Highlight on datatable when perform search

spiderkzn

Hi,

I need to highlight on specific column while searching without search the whole datatable?

I have tried use https://datatables.net/blog/2014-10-22 but it not working.

Or can I disable highlight search on whole datatable?

Can you link to a page showing the issue please? It works in the example you link to, although that is an older version of DataTables, so perhaps something needs updating somewhere. A link to a test case showing the problem would help me resolve it.

To highlight specific columns you can use columns.className to apply a classname for highlighting then update the selector used to highlight to include the classname, for example:

var body = $( '.search-hilite', table.table().body() );

Here is a running test case highlighting only the Position column:
