filtering on the word "on" doesn't work

I am using the zero configuration setup and having an issue with the filter not working on the word "on". Is the word "on" a special word in the zero configuration. Every other word filters with no problems.

    Hi andy9521,

    No - "on" has no special meaning. All DataTables is doing is looking for a string with "on" in it. It appears to work for me on the DataTables home page example: http://datatables.net/ .

    Might you have HTML with 'on' in it? If so, you can filter using only visible strings (i.e. strip the HTML) by setting the column sType to 'html'.

    Regards,
    Allan

    Hi Allan - Can you please tell me how do I set the column Type to 'html'? so as to filter using only visible strings. Thanks.

    Hi Jamy,

    Have a look at this demo: http://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/html_sort.html
