Search not working when first column is a checkbox

Mundaring

Hi,

I am having an issue when my first column is a checkbox, and data = null, search stops working and throwing an error (image attached)

It needs to associate a value in the data for that particular column to make it works, but I do not want to display any information in that column just the checkbox . I have done this in previous versions and it worked perfect. at the moment I am using Editor Data Tables v1.6.1.0

I tried a trick using CSS to make text in that column transparent, but the problem is the check became also transparent.

How could I solve this?

Thanks in advance for any help provided,

Wilson

            rowCallback: function (row, data) {
                $(row).addClass('trLink');          //When the row has a link
            }
        });

Hi,

I solved the issue updating to version 1.6.3

Thanks for the update - good to hear you have it working now. It would also be worth adding columns.searchable and setting it to be false for your first column.
