I have managed to setup global column filter delay with fnSetFilteringDelay.
jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oApi.fnSetFilteringDelay = function ( oSettings, iDelay ) {
var _that = this;
if ( iDelay === undefined ) {
iDelay = 500;
}
this.each( function ( i ) {
$.fn.dataTableExt.iApiIndex = i;
var
$this = this,
oTimerId = null,
sPreviousSearch = null,
anControl = $( 'input', _that.fnSettings().aanFeatures.f );
anControl.unbind( 'keyup search input' ).bind( 'keyup', function() {
var $$this = $this;
if (sPreviousSearch === null || sPreviousSearch != anControl.val()) {
window.clearTimeout(oTimerId);
sPreviousSearch = anControl.val();
oTimerId = window.setTimeout(function() {
$.fn.dataTableExt.iApiIndex = i;
_that.fnFilter( anControl.val() );
}, iDelay);
}
});
return this;
} );
return this;
};
How to make individual columns to work..
I have posted this question also on stackoverflow.
