Here's my entire script: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { var table = $('#tblForecast').DataTable({ "sPaginationType": "full_numbers", "bJQueryUI": true, "fnDrawCallback": calculateTotal, "bPaginate": true, "iDisplayLength": 100 }); //end table init $('#monthFilter').change(function () { var name = $("#monthFilter option:selected").text(); if (name !== "No Filter") { table.column(7).search(name).draw(); } else { table.column(7).search("").draw(); } }); //end change });//end ready </script>
