Place div beside the filtering div

jordan123

Hi.

So I want to place a div beside the dataTables_filter div. I want this to be right against the datatable as well. I can't figure out an (easy) way to do this.

Right now I am doing:

"sDom": '<"toolbar">frtip',
$("div.toolbar").html(strVar);

But this places the div above the datatable and it seems to be unable to go right against the table like the search does.

Any ideas?

It places the DIV above visually, but next to the filter in the DOM (have a look at it in Firebug / Inspector). So position it visually you need to use a little CSS, such as div.toolbar { float:left; width:20% } or something.

That works good! thanks. Way simpler than I thought.
