Have you tried using the filtering API method ( fnFilter )? It looks like you just need to replace the semi-colon with a pipe (|) and filter as a regular expression on the column. Allan

a default, not a filter, and is re-selected after filtering return; } sText = $( '<div>' + sSelected

tell me how to filter the table, using default

I'd suggest posting an issue on the column filter project page: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-datatables-column-filter/issues/list . I'm not well versed in it I'm afraid, so I don't know off the top of my head what the issue is. Allan

it's redrawn and the filter returns no results and

if there is a filter applied to the table.

Seems to work just fine on both pages for me :-). I can sort and filter as expected on both pages. Have you cleared your browser's cache? Allan

The filter input is the unlabeled empty text input box on the right side that should work on keyup using this: [code]$('input[name=list_search]').keyup( function () { oTable.fnFilter( this.value ); } );[/code] The other dropdown filters will resort the actual queried data with ajax.

I still don't understand. Is the column filter add on adding filtering inputs to the columns that you don't want filtering on? That's nothing to do with DataTables - that's the column filter plug-in. Allan

I needed this same feature in the latest version. Another poster recommended this: There is a plugin that clears the DataTable filter here fnFilterClear http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api ....and it worked for me - using the latest version of Datatables and the plugin.
