Problem: Combining "State Saving" and "Column Filtering"

mwhouser

I am trying to combine these 2 examples:
Saving State - http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/basic_init/state_save.html
Individual Column Filtering - http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html

If I do this:
S1. Show the table
S2. Filter by one column
S3. Navigate off the page
S4. Return to table page

Then I have these problems:
P1. The filter select controls only show entries from the *now filtered* table, not everything
P2. The filter select controls revert to "no selection" (or blank)

I was able to resolve P1 by specifying bFiltered: false into GetColumnData().

However, P2 is still an issue. In order to restore "all rows", I have to select another option, then select the blank one.

One possible resolution would be to get the "current filter" from the data table. Can this be done?

Otherwise, is there another solution?

Thanks,
...Matt
