jQuery Filters

Use jQuery to filter/search for specific elements.

Filter Tables

Perform a case-insensitive search for items in a table:

Example

Type something in the input field to search the table for first names, last names or emails:

 

Firstname	Lastname	Email
John	Doe	[email protected]
Mary	Moe	[email protected]
July	Dooley	[email protected]
Anja	Ravendale	[email protected]

jQuery

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#myInput").on("keyup", function() {
    var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
    $("#myTable tr").filter(function() {
      $(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1)
    });
  });
});
</script>

-

Example explained: We use jQuery to loop through each table rows to check if there are any text values that matches the value of the input field. The toggle() method hides the row (display:none) that does not match the search. We use the toLowerCase() DOM method to convert the text to lower case, which makes the search case insensitive (allows "john", "John", and even "JOHN" on search).

Filter Lists

Perform a case-insensitive search for items in a list:

Example

Type something in the input field to search the list for items:

·         First item

·         Second item

·         Third item

·         Fourth
