  Hi wizzboy,
  
  The thing with the individual column filters is that DataTables itself doesn't know where that information is coming from - in this case of course it is coming from the input boxes, but it could be a select menu or anything else. This is because it's an API only features.
  
  So what to do in order to achieve what you are looking for is that once the DataTable has initialised, you need to grab the settings object from the table ( fnSettings() ) and parse through the array aoPreSearchCols (the sSearch parameter of each object in that array is what you are interested in) and fill in the input select boxes with the previous search information.
  
  Hope this helps!
  Allan

  Yup - this is what you need to do. You've defined the input fields, so you can define what you need exactly. For example, if you have exactly the same number of input fields as columns you might do something like:
  
  [code]
  /* Now do the individual input values */
  var jqInputs = $('input XXX-whatever-selector');
  for ( var i=0 ; i
