This is my code :
$(document).ready(function () {
// Setup - add a text input to each footer cell
$('#example thead tr')
.clone(true)
.addClass('filters')
.appendTo('#example thead');
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
orderCellsTop: true,
fixedHeader: true,
initComplete: function () {
var api = this.api();
// For each column
api
.columns()
.eq(0)
.each(function (colIdx) {
// Set the header cell to contain the input element
var cell = $('.filters th').eq(
$(api.column(colIdx).header()).index()
);
var title = $(cell).text();
$(cell).html('<input type="text" placeholder="' + title + '" />');
// On every keypress in this input
$(
'input',
$('.filters th').eq($(api.column(colIdx).header()).index())
)
.off('keyup change')
.on('change', function (e) {
// Get the search value
$(this).attr('title', $(this).val());
var regexr = '({search})';
//$(this).parents('th').find('select').val();
var cursorPosition = this.selectionStart;
// Search the column for that value
api
.column(colIdx)
.search(
this.value != ''
? regexr.replace('{search}', '(((' + this.value + ')))')
: '',
this.value != '',
this.value == ''
)
.draw();
})
.on('keyup', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
$(this).trigger('change');
$(this)
.focus()[0]
.setSelectionRange(cursorPosition, cursorPosition);
});
});
},
});
});
In this code there are two search fields one is for the whole table filter and the other is for column wise filter.
The only thing I want to know is how can I highlight the searched text result in Table rows.
I have pretty much applied .css("background-color","red") every where in this code.
Note: I copied this code from a website and I am not a pro java developer so anyone with the idea please point out and writes the code for highlight and tell me where to put it or update it.
