  Perfectly possible to do, but I don't have code that will do that exactly, so you'd need to create a feature plug-in for DataTables. How to do that is explained in this blog post: http://datatables.net/blog/Creating_feature_plug-ins

  Thanks Allan for the reply, I am very much confused now with the example. I want to include the jQuery datepicker: http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#date-range from this link into the sDom and also a dropdown with some text in it. I am not sure if I have to implement my custom function to draw the datepicker using that example. Correct me if my assumption was wrong.

  I am pretty new to datatables, can someone give me a sample example of how to attach jquery datepicker in sDom so that I can try to implement drop down.

  I need something like a text Date: textfield, when I click on it should openup the datepicker.
  
  I have tried something like this.. this doesn't create the label and textbox unless I create the div tag with the id "datepicker" in the jsp page. Can someone give me a solution for this to get added beside the search filter.
  
  [code]
  var DatePicker = function(oDTSettings) {
  oDTSettings.aoDrawCallback.push({
  "fn" : function() {
  var label = $("").attr('for', "from").text('Date:');
  var input = $('').attr({id: 'from', name: 'from'});
  
  input.appendTo(label);
  $("#datepicker").append(label);
  input.datepicker();
  
  },
  "sName" : "DatePickerControl"
  });
  };
  
  $.fn.dataTableExt.aoFeatures.push( {
  "fnInit": function(oDTSettings) {
  return new DatePicker(oDTSettings);
  },
  "cFeature": "D",
  "sFeature": "DatePickerControl"
  });
  
  [/code]

  I have given my example to create a feature plugin, I am missing something which I am not sure of to get this working. I also need to include this as an ajax call like what the search filter does. Can someone help me with this please.
  
  I have included the following code in the input.datepicker() function but I need this something more deeply integrated into the datatables.
  
  [code]
  onSelect: function(fromDate, inst){
  $.ajax({"type": "POST",
  "url": ".......?fromDate=" +fromDate
  });
  }
  [/code]
