How to apply column filtering for only searchable="true" columns?

salman_malyk

Hi, I've created serverside rending datatable. I've added the column filtering from this example. It's adding inputs to all columns even which i've disabled searchable property. How can i restrict it to only apply filter on searchable=true.

Thank You

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

Colin

Ok no problem.
Here's the test case .
In this example, 5th column is set to searchable="false". So i need the filter input to be hidden too for 5th column header.

Add a class to those columns you don't want to search using columns.className. Use that classname is the column-selector with the jQuery :not() selector to to skip those columns. See the updated example:
