Datatables search field is not sticky - css

I want to make the search input field of my data table sticky.
"iDisplayLength": 1000,
"bLengthChange": true,
"bFilter": true,
"bInfo": true,
"bSort": true,
"order": [[ 0, "desc" ]],
dom: "Bfrtip",
The data table header is already sticky, but not the search field.
For the sticky the data table, I used:
thead {
position: sticky;
top: 0px;
background: white;
That works, but not for the search field. "scrollX": true/false doesn't work.


You can apply a style to the DataTable global search box using the dom option.
Example:
dom: 'B<"sticky-wrapper"f>rtip'
Each of the Bfrtip values is explained in the linked documentation - but for our specific needs, the f is for the filter box.
This is wrapped in a class called sticky-wrapper using <"sticky-wrapper"f>.
The style (in my test example) is based on the one used in the question:
.sticky-wrapper {
position: sticky;
top: 0px;
background: white;
}
Demo:
$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
dom: 'B<"sticky-wrapper"f>rtip'
});
});

If you do not want to modify your HTML and don't mind using display:grid and display:contents, to allow your table to overflow, you might do :
https://codepen.io/gc-nomade/pen/YzKQvOQ
#dtHorizontalVerticalExample,
#dtHorizontalVerticalExampleBis {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(9, auto);
max-width: 60%;
max-height: 250px;
overflow: auto;
}
/* id can be used only once */
#dtHorizontalVerticalExampleBis {
max-width: 40%;
}
/* cells will become direct child of the grid system set on table */
thead,
tbody,
tfooter,
tr {
display: contents;
}
/* OPTIONNAL KEEP headers on sight */
/* keep headers and name sticky */
thead th,
tbody td:first-child,
tbody td:nth-child(2) {
position: sticky;
background: white;
}
thead th {
top: 0;
}
tr th:first-child,
tr th:nth-child(2) {
z-index: 2;
}
tr :first-child {

z-index: 1;
}
tr :nth-child(2) {

inspired from https://codepen.io/gc-nomade/pen/WVXPNP
Note : id can only used once .
i added a few bootstrap classes to add the flex behavior on
#Customers : d-flex flex-wrap
and w-100 to h3
<div id="Customers" class="d-flex flex-wrap jumbotron tabcontent bg-light">
<h3 class="w-100">CUSTOMERS</h3>
mind for the next few months : https://caniuse.com/#search=contents before making use of display:contents

Something like this?

Datatables with Bootstrap 4 Looks Messy

When trying to use Datatables with Bootstrap 4 it doesn't look nice. I've tried to follow the basic example on the Datatables site and it still looks like it (see screenshot below).
I'm linking to the files that Datatables provides on their customisation page.
This is the header of my html file
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/bs4-4.0.0/jq-3.2.1/dt-1.10.16/datatables.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/bs4-4.0.0/jq-3.2.1/dt-1.10.16/datatables.min.css"/>
<title>Report</title>
<style>
body {
padding-top: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
Has anyone else had, or seen, this issue?
Thanks
Screenshot of how Datatables with Bootstrap 4 looks:

just add below custom css in your style sheet
table.dataTable{border-collapse:collapse !important;}
table.dataTable{border-collapse:collapse !important;}

<style>
.dataTables_length label{
margin-top: 15px;

DataTables with Bootstrap's table-responsive always has small x-overflow

I am using DataTables and Bootstrap but always seeing a tiny bit of x-overflow on my tables, no matter how many or few columns I have. Screenshot:
My markup:
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table data-table">
<thead>
...
</thead>
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
I don't apply any styles to the data-table class and the table and table-responsive classes are both Bootstrap's.
My initialization code:
$('.data-table').DataTable();
How can I eliminate this unnecessary x-scroll? I want it only to be used when the screen is much smaller and the columns obviously do not fit.

SOLUTION
You need to use a container. Wrap your markup in a div with class container or container-fluid.
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table data-table">
<thead>
...
</thead>
<tbody>
...
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
Also add the following CSS rule:
.table-responsive {
overflow-x: inherit;
}
DEMO
See this jsFiddle for code and demonstration.

The x-scroll occurs due to the .table-responsive class with combination of the DataTables plugin
The .table-responsive class needs be at the parent element of the table. This is true when looking at the HTML part but it is not true after the plugin has initialized, since DataTables adds a lot of additional markup.
A workaround for this is to omit the .table-responsive class in your HTML and add it using jQuery after the plugin has initialized.
HTML:
<div class="container-fluid">
<table id="example" class="table" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Age</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
...
</table>
</div>
JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
$('#example').parent().addClass('table-responsive');
});
Here is a jsfiddle. Many thanks to #Gyrocode.com for providing the original jsfiddle in his answer here!

Forget Bootstrap and use the DataTables' property, scrollX set to 100%.
See it in use here: https://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/scroll_x.html
The one caveat I've found is that the table must be visible on page load. If it's not, the thead element will be misaligned with the tbody.

Add .container-fluid variation for full-width containers and layouts.
It was introduced in v3.1.0: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-example-fluid
or try
body { overflow-x: hidden;}
it's a bad alternative, but it work.

I think Tasos K.'s answer pretty much sums it up. But there is actually an even better way to add the table-responsive div as a parent of the table. There is a dom setting that let's you define the order of DataTables components as well as additional HTML that should be inserted into the DataTables' markup.
The default value of the dom setting is lfrtip. This defines the order of the DataTables' components. Each letter represents a component (for example, the letter 't' represents the actual table). The letters are explained in the DataTables reference here: https://datatables.net/reference/option/dom#Options
You can also define additional HTML to insert into the DataTables' markup. DataTables has a special format to define how to add HTML. For instance, to wrap the table with a div with class table-responsive, you have to wrap the letter 't' with <'table-responsive' and >. The description of the markup format is explained here: https://datatables.net/reference/option/dom#Markup
When you use the Bootstrap integration, as is the case with the OP, the default value of dom is overwritten with a different value to make DataTables work with the Bootstrap layout. According to the online reference, the value of dom is changed to
<'row'<'col-sm-6'l><'col-sm-6'f>><'row'<'col-sm-12'tr>><'row'<'col-sm-5'i><'col-sm-7'p>>
In order to add a div with class table-responsive as a direct parent of the table, you will have to change this string to
<'row'<'col-sm-6'l><'col-sm-6'f>><'row'<'col-sm-12'<'table-responsive't>r>><'row'<'col-sm-5'i><'col-sm-7'p>>
Here is a snippet with my solution. I copied the code from Tasos K.'s answer.
$(document).ready(function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable({
"dom": "<'row'<'col-sm-6'l><'col-sm-6'f>><'row'<'col-sm-12'<'table-responsive't>r>><'row'<'col-sm-5'i><'col-sm-7'p>>"
});

<script src="~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<link href="~/Content/jquery.dataTables.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<thead>

</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#myTable').dataTable();
});
</script>
}

<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
<link href="~/Content/jquery.dataTables.css" rel="stylesheet" />
