Search

I make the date filter I wrote in the

type something into the filter - and that does happen

I didn't unbind the event handlers.... I have the individual column filters working but the global filter is the only thing not working....

oTable = $('#example').dataTable(); // Sometime later - filter... var iMyColumnIndex = 0; var

By default DataTables will strip HTML from the filter (so it doesn't sort on tag names for example). If you want to explicitly tell it to filter / sort on an attribute you can use type based plug-ins: http://datatables.net/development/filtering http://datatables.net/development/sorting Allan

like what the search filter does. Can someone help

but since my individual filters take up the first

Allan to reset the filtering on the table, and

number you want to filter on. DataTables does global filtering + column filtering on each

Yes absolutely DataTables can do that. You simply call the fnFilter API method with what you want to filter the table on :-). Allan
