Hi All, I have a table which is generated dynamically. I want to allow sorting on few columns only not on all columns. Can anyone help me with this?

the same thing with filtering, but I can't seem

I have datatable in which a non-zero value represents error condition and I want to display just those rows which have this column with some non-zero value i.e. error conditions. Could you please tell me how could I achieve it using fnFilter regular expression. I am quite unable to achieve it.

Does anyone know if and how we can count the number of potential search results even before we perform fnFilter and update the table? I need this number to highlight the outcome in advance.

@allan I am using custom column filtering.I need to know how to check the Returned search results after using custom column filtering.Beacuse it always return 0 results. My code: function FilterTable(Name,Type){ $('#tableRows').dataTable().fnFilter(Name, 1, true, false); $('#tableRows').dataTable().fnFilter(state, 2, Type, false); alert($('#tableRows').dataTable()); } It returns 0 results always.It means empty alert came in the result.Is it possible to debug the results or how to check the results after values passing in fnFilter?

Hi, I am using DataTables for displaying Results of a athletic competition over several years. It works like a charm, thanks a lot!! Now I would like one of the columns to be filtered by exact match. I read a lot of forum questions here and on stackoverflow and I tried several different ways, but non of them seem to work.. The column is the 7th column (zero based nr. 6). Here is my code: DataTable Initialization: [code] "oSettings":{ "aoPreSearchCols":[ null, null, null, null, null, null, { "bSmart" : "false", "bRegex" : "false", "sSearch" : "^\s"+'1'+"\s$" }, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, ] }, "aoColumns": [ null, null, null, null, null, null, { "type" : "number", "sType": "numeric" }, { "sType": "time-milli" }, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null ], [/code] I also tried it with setting it after initialization, but it didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? THanks for your help. Regards Jan

Hello everyone is there a way to connect the actual default features of the plugin with my own inputs, dropdowns, paginations ... I dont want them to be in top of my (or anywhere near or next to the table, as with sDom). I would like to place these elements on a navigation bar for example. Thanks in advance.

Using DataTables 1.9.4 there seems to be a bug. If you have used the search/filter option and no rows are visible, then you call "fnAddData" to add some additional rows and one of these rows matches the search/filter criteria, a popup appears. In the minimised version this is "e not defined", in the maximised version it's "aoData not defined". Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, When I implement this, and enter a value in a footer input, all data disappears from the table - even if I only enter a single letter. Have you encountered this before? Is there a common fix? Thank you.
