数据表：单击特定按钮时搜索特定字符串

Question

My idea is when button1 is clicked to get input in textare and make search in Datatables.

I need help, hope for understanding.

my code is this, but I dont get result. I got other ways but i dont want to refresh page:

<script src="js/ie/jquery.placeholder.js"></script>
<script>
  $(function() {
    $('input, textarea').placeholder();
  });
</script>

and to call it like this:

<p class="btn btn-primary" id="myInput" onclick="updateInput('button1')">button1</p>

Answer 1

Since you have provided almost zero information in your question except for the fact that you want to search the datatable on the click of a button, this should work for you.

var oTable = $("#myTable").DataTable();

$("button1").on('click', function(event){
  var searchText = "button1"; //Specific text that you want to search
  oTable.search(searchText).draw();
}

Here's a fiddle
