Save state + select menus, problems returning menu options

joedempsey

Hi,

Currently have a set up of 6 columns all with drop down select menus. The table is populated via php and sqlite and works fine and the save state lets you leave the page and return to the table with the same result as it was left.

Next stage i want to be able to view the entire table again but because the save state only remembers the option that was saved in the select menus, i can no longer view the entire table.

Either a way to repopulate each drop menu or a way to reset the save cookie so i end up at the beginning again would be great.

Heres my code

[code]
(function($) {
/*
* Function: fnGetColumnData
* Purpose: Return an array of table values from a particular column.
* Returns: array string: 1d data array
* Inputs: object:oSettings - dataTable settings object. This is always the last argument past to the function
* int:iColumn - the id of the column to extract the data from
* bool:bUnique - optional - if set to false duplicated values are not filtered out
* bool:bFiltered - optional - if set to false all the table data is used (not only the filtered)
* bool:bIgnoreEmpty - optional - if set to false empty values are not filtered from the result array
* Author: Benedikt Forchhammer

$.fn.dataTableExt.oApi.fnGetColumnData = function ( oSettings, iColumn, bUnique, bFiltered, bIgnoreEmpty ) {
// check that we have a column id
if ( typeof iColumn == "undefined" ) return new Array();

// by default we only wany unique data
if ( typeof bUnique == "undefined" ) bUnique = true;

// by default we do want to only look at filtered data
if ( typeof bFiltered == "undefined" ) bFiltered = true;

// by default we do not wany to include empty values
if ( typeof bIgnoreEmpty == "undefined" ) bIgnoreEmpty = true;

// list of rows which we're going to loop through
var aiRows;

// use only filtered rows
if (bFiltered == true) aiRows = oSettings.aiDisplay;
// use all rows
else aiRows = oSettings.aiDisplayMaster; // all row numbers

// set up data array
var asResultData = new Array();

for (var i=0,c=aiRows.length; i -1) continue;

// else push the value onto the result data array
else asResultData.push(sValue);
}

return asResultData;
}}(jQuery));


function fnCreateSelect( aData )
{
var r='', i, iLen=aData.length;
for ( i=0 ; i
