Working with DataTables for the first time I was having some issues with the UI. The search textbox was not allowing the user the backspace. They were able to select the text and use the delete key to clear it out, but it almost felt like there was a script capturing and suppressing the backspace key press. Upon closer inspection the “type” of the input was “Search”. According to w3schools (and Visual Studio’s Intellisense) this was valid HTML. The example of their site worked as well. Perhaps it had something to do with the other scripts running on the page, or possibly the Bootstrap library addon for DataTables? Changing the type to “Text” fixed the issue. I found an easy workaround here until I can fix the root of the problem.

Dinner Table 2.0

We used Cedar wood and 3″ triple coated decking screws throughout the project.
Start with the leg.
Then CTRL + C, CTRL + V
Add some braces between them
Add some screws to hold the braces together
Realize your table is 8 feet long and almost 4 feet wide (how is this going to fit in our tiny dining room???)
Up next is getting the top of the table planed and joined together into one massive piece of wood. I have traded some computer repair work in exchange for some expert-level wood working 🙂
Update:
After getting the pieces joined and sanded down to 160 grit:
After 2 coats of stain and 2 of polyurethane:
