Initalizing datatable with filter in place

jdb

Good evening,

I've been working with DataTables for 3 days and have referred to the docs/forums 300 times at least. At some point I swear I read something about initializing a datatable with a filter. I've been searching the site for that reference for almost an hour with no luck finding it. :-(

Could someone point me to the information or enlighten me on how it's accomplished?

Thanks,

Jeffrey

For now I'm just using an fnFilter once the datatable has completely initalized but this doesn't play well with bSaveState and I end up with my initial filter in place every time.

Is there another way of loading an initial filter that is state-aware or a way of having fnFilter update the state cookie?

What's that old saying "I'm glad it wasn't a rattlesnake, it would have bitten me!"

Thanks Allen!
