- Replaced custom applyFilter() function in employees_list.html with ListFilter component
- Reduced code from 16 lines to 11 lines (more declarative)
- Benefits:
* Uses shared, tested ListFilter component
* Automatic debouncing (300ms)
* Cleaner, more maintainable code
* Consistent filtering behavior across app
Analysis of other applyFilter() usage:
- department_scripts.html (2 instances): Complex logic with item selection, form interaction - kept as-is
- search/results.html: Multi-section filtering with radio buttons - kept as-is
- document_list.html: Array filtering, not DOM filtering - kept as-is
ListFilter component is ready for use in new features and templates.
