I have :

var oTable1 = $('#example1').dataTable(
{"oLanguage": {"sSearch": "Search all columns:"}});
and

$("#example1 thead tr").clone().prependTo($("#example1 thead")).find("th").each(function(i) {this.innerHTML = fnCreateSelect(oTable1.fnGetColumnData(i));

$('select', this).change(function() {oTable1.fnFilter($(this).val(), i); }); } );


The above pice of code is for adding filters...
I need to add tabletools on top of that...But as soon as i add tabletools the filters disapear

    To add TableTools you need to use sDom, as shown here: http://datatables.net/extras/tabletools/ . If you add that in, does it work for you?

    will it work if i dont use the SWF link and just the tabletools.js plugin

    $('#example').dataTable( {
    06. "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
    07. "oTableTools": {
    08. "sSwfPath": "/swf/copy_cvs_xls_pdf.swf" ====> i don't have this file
    09. }
    10. } );

    The SWF (which is included in the TableTools and DataTables downloads) is used to provide local file saving options (for CSV etc) and copy to clipboard. If you don't want those buttons in TableTools, then you don't need the swf.
