Topic: How can I apply styling to the datatable's search input & label

shamca free asked 5 years ago


Hi - I have the datatables working well, but can't figure out how to apply styles to the search input & it's label. I've tried to attach a capture of the component I'm referring to, but your 'insert image' doesn't allow a file upload.

I figured it out. Line 14422 of datatables.js has a property "sFilter" which holds the strings to write out. Added 'text-right' and it's ok for now.

"sFilter": "dataTables_filter text-right",

Capture

Here's a capture - the auto generated div & class are highlighted on the right. Not sure where in config to add style information.

Hey Marta - thanks for answering. Not sure that I can attach a snippet - it's a rails application and the search component I want to style is enclosed by a <div class="row"> that is dynamically rendered by the datatables code.

BTW - how is one to insert an image in this response? The dialog that comes up simply says 'source' ...?

Thanks, 

Shaun
