Male and Female Filtering

erickax

I've seen two similar problems with what I have now, but I don't get what and where and how they do it to make theirs work. Like where do they put those code? I really don't get it :(

I have a Gender column on one of my tables. When I type "Male" in the textbox search of datatables, it filters both "Female" and "Male" . How to fix this problem? I want that when I type "Male", only those with that record wil show up. I am using datatables version 1.10.11

If you are using client-side processing, then you could use a regular expression (i.e. ^male) to match only "Male" when using column().search().

If you are using server-side processing then you need to do something similar in your server-side script (probably remove the leading wildcard).

The next major version of DataTables will match the start of words only automatically (client-side processing).
