Provide custom filter functionality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

imagine following scenario: In one of my columns I use some icons to visualize 
the state of my data. It would be nice to be also able to filter on those 
states. I'm able to add a select filter with the distinct filter values but 
clearly the filter won't work.
One other use case would be checkboxes which indicate true/false in sense of 
the data.

Is there any way to archive this with today functionality or would it possible 
to be able to provide a kind of "lookup" function to the filter in the future?

With kind regards,

Stefan

Hi,

Sorry for the late response but I have not been active in past few months. 
Problem you have reported "should" already bee a part of the original 
datatables settings. If you put soem HTML and place sType : 'html' filtering 
function should filter it as html and not plain text. See DataTables site for 
more examples.

Checkbox can currently be implemented as dropdown with two values (yes/no) I'm 
planning to implement it in the future. Also custom filtering functions are in 
the TODO list.

Thanks,
Jovan
