Question

<label>Search: <input type="text" aria-controls="company"></label>

Using Datatables, how would i added a class to the search field input box?

Answer 1

Depending which example are you using.. if you are using the following http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/zero_config.html

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').dataTable();
    $('#example_filter input').addClass('yourclass'); // <-- add this line
} );

P.S.: If the table have more input search or you have more tables, you can refer to all the input search by using the class selector (".someClass")
