Link To Pre-Filtered Table?

MagicSquares

Is it possible to have one page link to another page that contains a DataTable and have that link including parameters that will apply a specific filter to the table?

To be more specific, I have a page that included a load of rows, one attribute of which is a category, and I want to be able to link to that page from somewhere else on my site and have the table only show rows that belong to a specific category.

I hope I've worded this clearly enough. :-)

Do you mean something like this Deep linking into Datatables blog?

Kevin,

I think it might, yes.

I would need to pre-apply a filter rather than a search term, which I suppose is the same as a search on a particular column of data, but I think I might be able to make this do what I need.

Thanks!
