Multiple filters on a single column

jbrown

Is there a way to have multiple search filters on a single column?
Like, let's say I have a Status Column with values ranging between 'Active', 'Inactive', 'In Progress', 'On Hold', etc.

Then lets say I have checkboxes for each of those options. How would I make it so that if I checked both the 'Active' and 'Inactive' checkboxes, it would filter the table for all rows that have EITHER Active or Inactive in the Status column? I can't seem to find anything in the discussions that talks about doing this all on a single column.

Okay So I'm guess the answer must be some sort of regex filtering.

Yes exactly that - an OR based regex something like 'Active|Inactive|In Progress...' etc. Then use the fnFilter options to enable regex filtering for the column and to disable smart filtering (since that will inject its own regular expression making things very confused!).
