Trying to implement DataTables filter by date range using two bounded datepickers.
I've seen few similar questions at SO, but none of those having answers worked for me.
So far, I managed to implement interface elements, but have no idea as of how to put them together to proceed further. Any help is appreciated.

Reset to default 4I made a few modifications to your code. See ments in the JavaScript snippet below, the bulk of which are at the bottom, under your var myDataTable = $('#staff').DataTable() declaration:
// I changed some of the start_date values to be more recent, just for testing.

<table id="staff"></table>I also removed the "Filter" button, as it's not needed in this implementation. The table should automatically update when you select a date from the datepickers.
Your (slightly modified) example with certain added value (timezone independent, limited year range, bounded datepickers):

</body>
</html>You have to add this code part to take date range and hire date.
$(document).ready(function(){
$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
function (settings, data, dataIndex) {
var min = $('#startdate').datepicker("getDate");
var max = $('#enddate').datepicker("getDate");
var hireDate = new Date(data[3]);
if (min == null && max == null) { return true; }
if (min == null && hireDate <= max) { return true;}
if(max == null && hireDate >= min) {return true;}
if (hireDate <= max && hireDate >= min) { return true; }
return false;
}
);
});
and you must click event for your button.
$("#filter").click(function () {
var myDataTable = $('#staff').DataTable();
myDataTable.draw();
});
First code part to get dates , second part to draw datatable again.
