exposing the selected value of a SELECT element for filtering

iface

Hi Y'all

I'd like to filter the rows displayed by a string that matches or partially matches the value of the select element. Similar to what you can do for columns that contain HTML A tags. Using the column type: "html" and then filtering and sorting work great. Is there a type for SELECT elements?

I'm using the latest version of DataTable. With a DataTable where one column has only SELECT elements. I have a text inputs in the header for each column that allows the user to type chars that filter the associated column. (using keyup and fnFilter())

Note: I can sort using the dom-select plugin. But it doesn't help with filtering.
