adding filter textbox to server-side processing

dianar

Hi Everyone!

I already implemented the plugin. It works perfect. Now I want to add one text box so that I can filter the table from the beginning apart from the search box. I've tried some ajax call to send the text box value but haven't been able to make it work. Can you help me to do it properly??
Thanks!

Do you mean you want a separate filter in addition to the DataTables global filter (in which case use fnServerParams to get the data from your search box and pass it to the server), or do you want an initial filter applied to the table, in which case use oSearch .
