This appears to be an ie only issue. on ie11. when using input type = search a little x clear icon is shown. unfortunately clicking the clear button is not effecting my filter function on a jquery datatable. here is an example.
https://jsfiddle.net/brzyvdps/5/
if you run the fiddle in ie11 and use the search fields on top of the table and then after they are populated click the little x clear icon the table is not changed to reflect there is not a filter for that field.
below is the filter function I am using. looks like the little x icon is not firing the change event ( I attempted adding mouseup as well but still nothing)
oTable.columns().every(function () {
var that = this;
$('input', this.footer()).on('keyup change', function () {
if (that.search() !== this.value) {
that
.search(this.value)
.draw();
}
});
});
