Separate Search textbox or combo box

adromil

Hi Allan,

Can I make a separate search control like input textbox or dropdown combobox as search box using datatables?
I just wanted to use datatable as a viewing control/object and the search control/object is not in the js.
thanks.

I plan to use an html control can this be possible?
Thanks in advanced.

You most certainly can. Just use the fnFilter API method to filter the table based on whatever input you want.

Hi Allan,

Thank you for the prompt reply. It is too much to ask if you could have me an example using fnFilter with a control?

Hi Allan,

I'm so sorry if I haven't checked thoroughly on the documentation. I think I already have the example I need in the examples/api/ directory (regex.html).

Once again thank you very much. :D
