Sorting columns with images

hasan

Hi,

My question is about sorting a column with an image in it.
I have a table like this:

username | carded | refused | waiting | accepted

USERNAME| Y | N | N | Y

and so on...

I am using images for Y/N bits (small PNG circles like red and green lights)

if I place the image straight in the DataTables doesn't sort that column, even though I have ALT and TITLE attributes exist as (Yes or No)

When I added a hidden span (YES) obviously it works but I don't want to add extra markup as these tables will be generated dynamically and there are LOADS of them.

Any idea is appreciated.

Thanks.

force that column to sort as string. it should work.

it was probably auto-detecting 'html' type, which strips/ignores the html

[code]
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ "sType": "string", "aTargets": [ 0 ] }
]
[/code]
