Filtering rows out

mehti

Hi guys.

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to filter rows out. Let me explain what I mean. Imagine a webpage with checkboxes, they are all check when the webpage loads and a datatable displayed the information available. Now, when the users unchecks a check box I want datatable to hide that row from the results, however when the checkbox is checked again, I want the row to appear as it was. It is like a reverse of the search function, which displays to you what you were searching for, this function should hide what you were searching for (if that makes sense).

Is it possible to achieve this with datatable? One way to solve this problem would be to make a call to DB every time when checkbox is changed, however I would much rather reduce number of calls to the DB (for performance reasons).

Many thanks!

Found a solution. Please ignore.... (not sure how to delete/close)
