please help .... how to do this.. via datatables jquery

I am getting row data from my viewmodel. Whenever i type "administrator", it gets all the result instead of displaying only text with administrator. eg. name admin1 user1 user2 so if i type "admin" it gets all the results instead of just retrieving 'admin1'. Other than that it works fine. Does anyone kno why this is happening? any help would be appreciated. Here's my code //datatable $('#administrators_gridView').dataTable({ "iDisplayLength": 25 }); //table element < table id="administrators_gridView" class="">

is it possible to filter for either a string (rather than individual words) or filter only on visible columns ? for example I have a list of singers, each grouped by their voice, if i apply a filter for 'tenors 2', i get all tenors 2 and a few tenors 1 as well, as they have a 2 in either an email address or memberid (which is hidden, but required for a link).

Hello, I have one table which works fine but the seconde one is a bit particular. My first table contains one object by row but my second table contains one object and this object is displayed in many rows (i give to datatable a json using django). Doing this, having only one object but many rows, sorting and searching doesn't work. Do you have any idea of how i can run this properly?

Hallo everybody! When I update a cell with the fnUpdate-function there are no problems: The sort array will be rebuilt and the sorted column refreshes. But when I update a cell via dom manipulation manually, it does not. A fnDraw(true) call does not help. Has anybody a solution for this issue and can help me? How can I say: Read this datatable sort/search array again and refresh column-sort? Thank you! Tobi

Hi Allan, First of all thanks for your time. I changed the filter input text behaviour to work only after press the enter key and I'm wondering if there is any chance to do the following: 1) Wait for the enter 2) Clear the value of the filter for the next table filter (because I have other filters in the table) All the best, Pawel.
