Some filters break bSaveState functionality

Some filters break bSaveState functionality

Filters applied via fnFilter aren't escaped fully when the JSON for the cookie is created in _fnSaveState.

Some filters, particularly regex filters containing backslashes (ex: "^\s*CVM\s*$"), will result in the JSON being invalid. The backslashes in the example are not escaped, which is not allowed.

When _fnLoadState tries to load the resulting cookie, it fails, and the table state is not restored.

I fixed this locally by relying on the JSON library to do the escaping.

REPLACED:
[code]
for ( i=0 ; i

    Hi pidge,

    Thanks very much for catching this! I'm make sure it is fixed in the next release of DataTables. It won't use JSON.stringify unfortunately (since that would add another library dependency - I really with jQuery would include this ability...), but I'll try to make sure that this is properly escaped - good to see you've got a patch already!

    Regards,
    Allan
