Filter column with selectlist cells

Cezarr

I'd like to filter column using select list in footer. Column's cells datas are select lists. How can I filter that data? I assume I have to search somewhere by 'selected' option, but have no idea where exactly.

Here is example

Hi Cezarr,

I'm afraid that at the moment DataTables does not support this using the API or otherwise. It is however possible to accomplish this by writing your own function.

You can find some details on writing a custom filtering function here.

Thanks,

For anybody with same problem I wrote something like this:

$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
        function (settings, data, dataIndex) {
            if (settings.nTable.id !== 'activeItemsTable') {
                return true;
            }
            var selectedValue = $('#CategoryFilter').val();
            var cellSelectedValue = $(activeTable.row(dataIndex).data()[1]).val();

            if (selectedValue == cellSelectedValue || selectedValue == -1) {
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    );
