How to remove the extra space after table heading, in datatables which has scrollbar and filter?

Question

I'm using datatables.net library. There is a gap between table header and the table body, if I add scrollbar. Is there any way to remove it? Also, is there a way to move the searchbox to the left, and remove the text "Search:", and instead add it as a place holder within the textbox?

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with that library but I do know that one can easily modify CSS to achieve the desired layout. Please check their documentation about styling http://datatables.net/styling/
