    Hi,

    I am trying to create a simple search form that searches within a specific column. My approach below is not doing anything – the table never redraws. Any ideas? I can confirm that a search value is being passed in via console.log

    thanks

    var table = $('#tablepress-1').DataTable();
$('#search-form input').on( 'keyup', function () {
	console.log(this.value);
	table
		.columns( 1 )
		.search( this.value )
		.draw();
} );

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I’m afraid that I can’t really help here. As this JS code is independent from TablePress, you should try the DataTables support forums here.

    (One thing that often causes headaches: Remember that counting columns in such JS code starts with 0. Thus, your code would search the second column.)

    Regards,
    Tobias

    ok thanks .. I don’t think it’s an issue with my column count .. it seems like the “draw” method isn’t actually being called for some reason

    anyhow I can try over on the DataTables forums
