 * Hi,
 * I don’t see a table there, just a search field, but all searches that I tried
   return empty results…

 * What I need is have that search field search through the table. Is it possible?

 * Hi,
 * the WordPress search does search in tables and then shows you the entire table
   if there’s a match.
    You could try to combine that with the Filtering Extension
   from my website ([http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/extensions/](http://tobias.baethge.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-table-reloaded-english/extensions/)),
   but this will require some custom programming.

 * I created a table for my company used as a product database here:
 * [http://stilwellok.us/s/](http://stilwellok.us/s/)
 * This was not good enough for my bosses. They demand a search page that will then
   generate a table like at this site here:
 * [http://www.filtermart.com/fpdbdb/fmccross.asp](http://www.filtermart.com/fpdbdb/fmccross.asp)
 * In an earlier thread I asked you if this would be possible, and you said it would
   with some custom datatables programing.
 * I do not know datatables, nor do I know Javascript. I asked around on the datatables
   forum, and received advice on how to accomplish my goal. I couldn’t understand
   any of the advice. One word commonly used was “initialize” the table by adding
   such and such script to the html of the table. I explained that because I was
   using WP_Table Reloaded I didn’t have access to the html of the table, and they
   suggested askign you for advice as the creator. I managed to make a search page
   here:
 * [http://stilwellok.us/13375-2/](http://stilwellok.us/13375-2/)
 * But don’t know what to do next. I really am sorry about this whole thing, but
   my boss is adamant on having it work exactly as he wants and won’t hire someone
   who actually knows what they are doing.
 * FYI, I’m just an administrative assistant…
 * Again, sorry for the hassle.

 * Oh, I don’t know if it helps but I made the search page by putting this in a 
   WordPress Page:
 * <table style=”border: 0px ridge #000000;” border=”0″ cellspacing=”1″ cellpadding
   =”0″ width=”35%”>
    <tbody> <tr> <td><form action=”result.asp” method=”POST”> 
   <table style=”border: 0px ridge #999999; border-collapse: collapse;” border=”
   0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″ width=”100%” bgcolor=”#ffffff” bordercolor
   =”#111111″> <tbody> <tr> <td>** Enter OEM Number **</td> <td>** <input style=”
   color: #000000; font-weight: bold;” name=”search” size=”16″ tabindex=”0″ /> </
   td> <td><input type=”submit” value=”Search” tabindex=”1″ /></td> </tr> </tbody
   > </table> </form></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
 * PS: The ONLY reason I’ve gotten as far as I have on website design is because
   of how easy wordpress is to use. Programing wise the furthest I’ve gotten is 
   basic html.

 * Hi,
 * I’m really sorry for your situation with your boss, but unfortunately, I really
   don’t know how to help with this in detail.
 * The way to go is to use the DataTables library, and the thing with the initialization
   is a good starting point.
    And you do actually have access to the HTML of the
   table (remember, it is only generated by WP-Table Reloaded) and then printed 
   into the page where your shortcode is.
 * Without at least some basic knowledge, you are likely going to run into dissatisfaction
   again (no offense meant), so I actually think that your company should hire a
   developer.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
