Problem with the Filter

al_galilee

hi all,

We have a filter on a field 'weight' (html select with serveral options like 1 kg, 10 kg, 25kg). When the users select '1 kg', the datatable return items which have 1 kg, 10 kg like weight.

Is it possible to filter strictly on the selected value?

Thanks,
Arnaud

Yes - use regex filtering. To do that, unbind the default 'keyup' event that DataTables puts on the input element, and then bind your own call to fnFilter which uses something like `'^'+val+'$'` and enable the regex option to perform exact matching.
