Notes
- As of v2.15,
- A new filter widget
filter_external
option has been added that essentially does the same thing as the$.tablesorter.bindSearch
function. - Use either to bind external search inputs.
- To change an input from searching one column (or all columns) to search any other column, call the
$.tablesorter.bindSearch
function to update the external inputs, even if the inputs are set using thefilter_external
option. Pass an additionalfalse
flag as the last parameter to force the inputs to update.$.tablesorter.bindSearch( $('table'), $('.search'), false );
- This demo shows how to use multiple external search filters to filter the table, and how to make one input dynamically change to filter any or all columns.
- A new filter widget
- The
$.tablesorter.filter.bindSearch
function allows binding multiple external search filters - The advantage of using this function over your own is:
- Inputs behave the same as internal filters; searches adhere to the
filter_liveSearch
andfilter_searchDelay
options. - When pressing the Esc key, the filter resets.
- Inputs behave the same as internal filters; searches adhere to the
- Include a
data-column="#"
attribute to specify to which column the search should apply; ordata-column="all"
to search all columns.
