Hi,

It is possible since version 1.5.0. See how it is setup on 
http://jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/customFilters.ht
ml.

Hi Jovan,

Thanks for this nice update.
On the mentionned page there is only the case of the select :
ie : aoColumns: [ { type: "select", values: [ 'Gecko', 'Trident "New"', 
'Trident', 'KHTML', 'Misc', 'Presto', 'Webkit', 'Tasman'], selected: 'Misc'  },

Could your provide an instance for the type: "text" and the type: "checkboxes".

It would be very helpfull.

Thanks again for this nice enhancement.

Fred

Hi Jovan,

I tried this enhancement, it worked. But the search is working no more. The 
search is called this way:
"$('#DataTablesExternalSearch').keyup(function(e){oTable.fnFilter( 
$(this).val());});"

Any ideas?

Regards, Phil

Here's a patch that enables 'selected' for numbers and text too. Example:

aoColumns: [ { type: "text", selected: 'Something' }, .... ]
