data-search in aoColumns?

luisrvaldez

Hi there,

Is there any anyway to define what gets used to filter in the aoColumns field? or the columns?
I was thinking of something like this...

{ data: 'Text', orderDataType: 'dom-text', type: 'html', dataSearch: 'Text'}

I've got an input box in there. when I add the type: 'html', it ignores everything inside an html tag, when what I wanted was for it to strip the tag and use the value..

btw... I'm using a source dataset, so I don't really have the TD's do edit...

You can use orthogonal data to control what DataTables uses for the search term.

However it looks like you might want to use the input element's value - is that correct? That isn't something that DataTables currently supports I'm afraid.
