Hi all , I've passed too many hours looking for how I can get the value of the inputs using in the columnFilter in datatable 1.8.2 ? I need those value to view it in the printed file.
[code]

$(document).ready(function(){
$.datepicker.regional[""].dateFormat = 'yy-mm-dd';
$.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['']);
$('#example').dataTable({
"bRetrieve":true,
"bDestroy":true,
"aoColumns": [
{ "sWidth": "100px" },
null,
null
]
} )
.columnFilter({ sPlaceHolder: "head:before",
aoColumns: [ { type: "select",sSelector: "#secteurFilter" },
{ type: "date-range", sRangeFormat: " {from}
{to}",sSelector: "#dateFilter" },
{ type: "select" , sSelector: "#parcelleFilter"},
{ type: "select" , sSelector: "#varieteFilter" },
{ type: "select" , sSelector: "#qualiteFilter" }

]

});



});

well i dont know of a conventional way like a normal dataTable way of doing that however if you'll look into the plugin file

search for the function doColumnFilter and look for keyup you'll see the values you are looking for.

what are you trying to achieve ?
