Default filter?

dougp

Hi,
I've found some discussion of this already in the forum but nothing that directly helped out. Hopefully I'm missing something obvious.

How can I initialize the search table a filter option pre-selected?

We have a few states that we filter a certain column by, including a blank option. Selecting that removes the filter from that column.

I'd like to be able to filter by a certain value on a given column by default, and let the user have the option of changing that filter's value to a different value, or no value at all.

Thanks,
Doug

it's simple....
define your drop-down in like this
[code]one[/code]

then use jQuery and dataTable for rest of thing..in this way

[code]$(document).ready(function() {
var default= $('input:checkbox[name="default"]').val();
oTable.fnFilter(default,columnNo);
}):
[/code]

Vivek
