Load initial table with filter applied

mchljrdn

Hello,

Thanks for taking time to read my post. My first time using the extension and I'm stuck. I want the datatable to load with a filter/search applied. I've searched and tried many of the implementations but I always receive a full data set. I'm able to apply filters with "onclick" events but not able to set a default.

<

script type="text/javascript">

window.onload = function defer()
  {
    if(window.$)
    {
        var table = $('#tbl').DataTable({
            //"aoSearchCols": [{ "sSearch": "^[0-9]", "bEscapeRegex": false }],
            "retrieve": true,
            "paging": false,
            "ordering": false,
            "info": false,
            "search": false,
            "fnInitComplete": function (oSettings, json) {
                alert('DataTables has finished its initialisation.')
            }
        });
    }
    else
    {
        setTimeout(defer(), 50);
    }
}
function fil(rexp)
{
    var table = $('#tbl').DataTable({

"retrieve": true,
"paging": false,
"ordering": false,
"info": false,
"search": false
});
table
.columns(0)
.search(rexp, true,false,true)
.draw()

}

Any help would be appreciated - not having any luck.

Thanks,

I think fnFilter is as close as you're gonna get. It does fire after initialization, however.
