Target select dropdown element, created outside initComplete

dthelp

I have a few columns class="list", which use select box as element for filtering the rows.

Now, I'm trying to fill all these selects with distinct column values.

How can I access the column if select is created outside the init function?

initComplete: function () {
    this.api().columns([6]).every( function () {
        var column = this;

           // select = selector of this column select box

        column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
            //select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' );
        });

    });
}

Not sure I totally understand your question. Do you mean how do you add the filters to only the columns with the class "list"? Assuming you are using the second thead for the selects this example should help you get started:
