Search

Ok, thanks for the input! My actual solution is to load the data twice: One time for viewing (with span), one time for filtering (no span). Maybe someone else got a smarter solution with the Column Filter plugin?

The column filter is 3rd party code - you'd probably be best asking on that project's site (which you link to). Allan

So you want to set the filter in the initialisation object? Just use the option to do that: aoSearchCols Allan

:( sadness lol, the problem seems to be with themeroller. Has anyone got column filter to work with themeroller themes ?

function _fnReDraw [code] if (filter) { _fnFilterComplete(settings, settings.oPreviousSearch); } else { // No filtering, so we want to

SearchFunction() { var results = $("#table").dataTable()._('tr', { "filter": "applied" }); //line 18 } Export

I tried that, but filter functionality still does not

So basically an OR filter? You can use the

type Webkit|Presto into the filter it does the expected OR. Try disabling the filtering delay plug-in. I think

If you are using server-side processing, then all filtering is done at the server. So you'd need to integrate the custom filter into your server-side script - whatever language / platform that might be in! Allan
