Filter Box Help Text

Most of the customers I speak with don’t realize they can enter text into the filter fields. We include an explanation above the tables, but customers tend to miss this. Is there a way to have the text “Search…” in light gray font appear in the filter fields to prompt users?

You can add value to the filter with following code:

mygrid.getFilterElement(column_index).value=“Search…”.

Also you can create custom filter in the header. Please find more information here docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtm … ader_extra
