It was something simple. The iDisplayLength parameter was being tested for -1, but was being handed a 0. The ajax handler was expecting pagination parms and when the query asked for 0 records, that's what it got back. Thanks!

This is positioned in the sDom definition - see the docs or search the forum.

For the cell ID you would need to directly manipulate the DOM, like you would with a plain HTML table, since DataTables doesn't really care about the id. However, for the HTML content of the cells, use fnUpdate . Allan

Figured it out. Turn smart filtering off, bRegex as true treats search string as regular expression: [code]"oSearch": { "bSmart": false, "bRegex": true }[/code]

@allan: thanks, it works in 1.10-dev

No, sorry. There is no way using the DataTables to do that. You would need to create a custom filtering implementation, which would involve removing the current filtering I suspect. Allan

This example I think will help: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/plug-ins/range_filtering.html . If you need to perform filtering on logic other than a straight match, custom filtering like int he example is the way to go in DataTables. Allan

I'm not sure I understand what the bug is? Are you passing in the column data index to fnFilter rather than the visible index? Allan

i got it here is the solution { type: "select",bRegex:true,values: [{ value: '^Male', label: 'M'},{ value: '^Female', label: 'F'}]},

The specific code I'm using is that posted by "olragon"
