  So you want the data from the rows that remain after filtering? The `_` method will do that: `table._( 'tr', { 'filter': 'applied' } );` . Docs: http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.4/#_

  Allan,
  
  Ah, OK - I'll give this a go! Thanks!

  OK, I understand now how this works (I think) - I get a list of filtered items (the first td in each filtered row), but two things still remain elusive to me:
  - how to trigger this when someone filters the table - right now it runs immediately and the only way I can see what is being captured is via an alert, and I set the fnFilter value to something - how do I trigger it so it only captures when someone uses the filter?
  - the results come back as a comma-delimited list - is there any way of appending the data to any hrefs that also exist in the filtered data with the data? I'm trying to pass the comma-delimited list of filtered records via a URL parameter to another page so I can use that as my pagination range on the new page. The documentation says the oOpts "Optional parameters for modifying the rows to be included" object can be used for that - is that correct?
  
  Thanks again for the help!
