Problem creating customized filtering ... aDataSort is null or not an object

acdimaano

Below is the JS Fiddle code i have for my web project (http://jsfiddle.net/Lan66ydn/1/). I only have pieces of code from the HTML and JS and can't provide the dataset because it comes from advanced forms.

I encounter the 'aDataSort' is null or not an object when the page is loaded.

Is there any other way to implement customized filtering. I already read and tried the examples below and I can't make it work on my page.

http://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html
http://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html

I'm trying to implement filtering type of option/selection/dropdown located in the top (thead).

Please help! I'm desperate!

FYI, I have the latest jquery, datatables, and css files.
