Using radio buttons for filters

versak

My datatable is filtering just fine, but the table has 2 columns where the data is checkboxes and I would like to be able to filter the individual columns by whether or not they are checked. I can manually enter into a text box "TRUE" or "FALSE" but I would like to use radio buttons to select the values plus a third for "ALL".

I've tried
[code]
$("thead input:radio").change(function(i){
oTable.fnFilter(this.value, $("thead input").index(this));
});
[/code]

I can make the radio buttons search globally, but I want it on a per-column basis. Can anyone offer any guidance?

I've figured out a good method for this. Instead of using radio buttons, I used 3 images for checked, unchecked and all. On each image I assigned an onclick to set the value of a hidden input to a value, then used $('#thelabel).trigger('keyup') to make the filter react.

The issue I was having was that having other inputs (the radio buttons) within the header throws off the whole process and eliminating those made it work as expected.
