DataTables individual column filtering example (using select menus)

babus

Hi Allan,

I saw the example of DataTables individual column filtering example (using select menus) in, http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html

I need the same way of implementation from server side, and i need the select filter for only specific columns.
Is that possible? if yes, kindly guide me on that same.


Thanks,

And, also I would like to pull the data for dropdown list for select menus from client end table.

I don't want hard coded values for that .. as like, what columnFilter() plugin is doing...

{ type: "text"},{ type: "select", values: [ 'All Tasks','Power on Server']

I need to pull these data from the table column..


Thanks,
Sundar babu G.R.

Well the way I would approach it is:

1. Where can I get the data from - probably the server
2. I need to make an Ajax call to the server to get the data for each column
3. A script is needed to get the data from the server
4. In the Ajax success handler it needs to populate the lists, as required.
