Column Filtering ( using Img 'Alt' attribute)

Suraj

Hi Allan,
Data table is not able to filter columns where we use Icons to display values (like 'status') in grid. Is it possible to filter using icon image's 'alt'
attribute.

Your response will be greatly appreciated.

By default DataTables will strip HTML from the filter (so it doesn't sort on tag names for example). If you want to explicitly tell it to filter / sort on an attribute you can use type based plug-ins:
