Get search data for select input

GlenLewis

I have a table that has input fields in the cells, I have added the data-search attribute for the search text.

How do I get a unique list of the search text that references the data attribute.

this is what I have used in the past:
column.data().unique().sort().each(function (d, j)
{

});

This returns the entire inner html of the cell. But I need the <td data-search="ABC"> value ABC.

How can I reference that value from the column data and get a unique list of it.

The d variable has the data for the cell. You can use standard Javascript methods to parse the d data to get the value you want. If you need specific help please provide a simple test case with an example of your data so we can provid emore specific help.
