Oh, I don’t know if it helps but I made the search page by putting this in a WordPress Page:

<table style=”border: 0px ridge #000000;” border=”0″ cellspacing=”1″ cellpadding=”0″ width=”35%”>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><form action=”result.asp” method=”POST”>
<table style=”border: 0px ridge #999999; border-collapse: collapse;” border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″ width=”100%” bgcolor=”#ffffff” bordercolor=”#111111″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> Enter OEM Number </td>
<td>
<input style=”color: #000000; font-weight: bold;” name=”search” size=”16″ tabindex=”0″ /> </td>
<td><input type=”submit” value=”Search” tabindex=”1″ /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

PS: The ONLY reason I’ve gotten as far as I have on website design is because of how easy wordpress is to use. Programing wise the furthest I’ve gotten is basic html.

I created a table for my company used as a product database here:

https://stilwellok.us/s/

This was not good enough for my bosses. They demand a search page that will then generate a table like at this site here:

https://www.filtermart.com/fpdbdb/fmccross.asp

In an earlier thread I asked you if this would be possible, and you said it would with some custom datatables programing.

I do not know datatables, nor do I know Javascript. I asked around on the datatables forum, and received advice on how to accomplish my goal. I couldn’t understand any of the advice. One word commonly used was “initialize” the table by adding such and such script to the html of the table. I explained that because I was using WP_Table Reloaded I didn’t have access to the html of the table, and they suggested askign you for advice as the creator. I managed to make a search page here:

https://stilwellok.us/13375-2/

But don’t know what to do next. I really am sorry about this whole thing, but my boss is adamant on having it work exactly as he wants and won’t hire someone who actually knows what they are doing.

FYI, I’m just an administrative assistant…

Again, sorry for the hassle.

What I need is have that search field search through the table. Is it possible?

( : I get it. The “aTargets” refers to which column is being references. Thank you.

Also, is it possible to have to search only look left to right? As in, if you look for “P” only things that begin with be come up rather than numbers that have “P” as the last letter?

Also, is it possible to remove the “showing ?? to ?? out of ??” from the table?

Ok, thanks. I’ll be sticking with the current solution.

One more thing. While looking for the answer to my previous question I found something that may work as an alternate solution on this page:

https://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html

I am referring to the individual search boxes under each filter. This way they could search whatever parts they wanted to. Is it possible to add that to my table? Keep in mind that I don’t know anything about jQuery. If not its no big deal, I can use the solution already presented, but I thought I’d ask all the same.

This works! Thank you so much!

I also want them to be able to search only one column. The table is here
: https://stilwellok.us/product-lines/ra-series-element/
And I want only the first column to be looked through by the search box. I need this done for several tables, all of which only the first column with be searched.
