[code]
/* Create an array with the values of all the input boxes in a column */
$.fn.dataTableExt.afnSortData['dom-text-all'] = function ( oSettings, iColumn ) {

var aData = [];

$( 'td:eq('+iColumn+')', oSettings.oApi._fnGetTrNodes(oSettings) ).each( function () {

var thiscol = $(this).find("input:first");

if (thiscol.length > 0) {

aData.push(thiscol.val());

} else {

var divtext = $(this).find("div");

if (divtext.length > 0) {

aData.push(divtext.text());

} else {

aData.push($(this).text());

}

}

} );

return aData;
