jQuery - Filters
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 | |
|---|---|---|
| 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
