Search / Filter multiple tables in all columns using W3.CSS Javascript
Background: I am working on a class project where we have to create a CRM system for our fictitious companies. For the project we use a combination of Python, HTML, CSS, W3.CSS, Javascript, Flask, Jinja2, Bootstrap via Spyder for Python and the rest in Sublime.
We connect to a SQLite database for mapped tables, which "sellers" or the user can search through a javascript loop through the tables displayed on every other page.
My question is: 1. When doing a data search, I can only sort the left column. How can I change the javascript so that I can search / filter across multiple columns?
Note: if anyone is interested in lending a hand to a few more ideas I have for this project, please let me know if you would like to hear what I am trying to accomplish.
thank
