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.
