Search HTML table with JS and jQuery
I made a table and wanted to make it searchable, so I googled and looked here at starckoverflow.
But somehow, the things I've found, that should work, dont work for me?
Here is the code, both HTML and JS.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta name="author" content="C.Palma" />
<meta name="content" content="World of Warcraft. Characters. Project. Learn 2 Code." />
<title>World of Warcraft Characters.</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/foundation.css" />
<script src="js/modernizr.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// When document is ready: this gets fired before body onload <img src='http://blogs.digitss.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />
$(document).ready(function(){
// Write on keyup event of keyword input element
$("search").keyup(function(){
// When value of the input is not blank
if( $(this).val() != "")
{
// Show only matching TR, hide rest of them
$("#table tbody tr").hide();
$("#table td:contains-ci('" + $(this).val() + "')").parent("tr").show();
}
else
{
// When there is no input or clean again, show everything back
$("#table tbody tr").show();
}
});
});
// jQuery expression for case-insensitive filter
$.extend($.expr[":"],
{
"contains-ci": function(elem, i, match, array)
{
return (elem.textContent || elem.innerText || $(elem).text() || "").toLowerCase().indexOf((match[3] || "").toLowerCase()) >= 0;
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="row large-centered">
<h1>World of Warcraft characters. <small>Mine and my brothers, we share.</small></h1>
</div>
<div class="row large-centered">
<input type="text" id="search" placeholder="Type to search..." />
<table id="table" width="100%">

Answer
I have put the part of your code that matters and wrote a working fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/9hGym/602/
this is now the search engin:
var searchText = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
$.each($("#table tbody tr"), function() {
if($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(searchText) === -1)
$(this).hide();
else
$(this).show();
});
you can also use http://www.datatables.net/ for such things ;)
