Filtering table : content having dropdown entry

ashutosh099

Hi ,

I have a query w.r.t filtering . My table is having a column where each cell of that column have a text/html and a dropdown , example : cell (a column entry) have two enteries : 1st is simple text and other displaying from the dropdown in cell itself.

allan
NOT_SIGNOFF

varshney
SIGNOFF

where SIGNOFF and NOT_SIGNOFF are the dropdown contents displayed (dropdown is with cell).

Now , search is very well working with 1st entry (i.e not coming from dropdown) , but search is not wroking well for the dropdown entry (like if I want to search all NOT_SIGNOFF) .

Pls. help and suggest.

Thanks
Ashu

There isn't really much support in DataTables for this form of data just at the moment. For sorting you can use something like this: http://next.datatables.net/examples/plug-ins/dom_sort.html . But I still need to get the time to develop a similar solution for filtering.
