I also think i found a bug:
See here : http://os135.it.auth.gr/new_site/index.php/afd/
the first record displayed starts with # and is properly showing in “All”.
BUT when you select to show the records included in the “#” (before “A”), this particular record is not shown.
Any ideas?
# button only shows records that start with a digit 0-9. Therefore records that start with ‘#’ will only by shown when “All” is selected.
Is there any way to configure it so these will be also displayed?
No, I would have to update the plug-in to support additional button for non-alphanumeric entries.
can you pleasgive me some hint on how to modify it, to do it myself cos it’s essential for me?
For example which function to edit?
Thank you
cant we change desgin
You can use your own design by replacing
dataTables.alphabetSearch.css. See this example demonstrating how to style the control for Bootstrap 3 framework.Dear Michael,
my alphabet search on a datatable was working perfectly, but all of a sudden it stopped working and a JS error pops up:
api.alphabetSearch is undefined
When i remove alphabet search for this table , DataTables start working again fine.
Do you have any idea of what started going wrong?

Hi Toze! I looked at your site but I don’t see a page with data that this plug-in can handle. What page do you want to have this plug-in on and what information are you going to display?
I didnt insert it cause I dont know where to start 🙂
Normal there is a part of the code that goes before ]]></b:skin>
Sometimes other code goes after <head>

Hello Michael,
Thanks for the resource. I have a question, was there a way to start the alphabetical search with A instead of all by default? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
