Change input to type text with CSS or javascript?

[Thallius]

Hi,

I use a framework to create a dateable in javascript. This is pretty cool but it has one disadvantage I want to fix.

The input field in the header filter

have no “x” icon do delete content.

As I do not want to change the code of the framework, my idea was to change the type of the inputs with CSS (would be easiest) or with javascript from text to search.

Any ideas?

CSS can’t really help here and you are probably stuck changing the attribute to type=“search” with js as you suggested.

Alternatively you could shim a button element on top to house the delete X but you’d still need to do that with JS and write the functionality. Css can only help with the positioning etc.
