How to apply filter to specific datatable

Question

Is it possible to apply a certain filter to only one datatable? I have the following filter function that I am applying on document ready, I don\'t know if this is proper pr

Answer 1

Haven't tried, but how about something like this ?

$.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering.push(
function( oSettings, aData, iDataIndex ) {
        if ( oSettings.nTable == document.getElementById( 'productTable' )){
            var checked = $('#instock').is(':checked');
            var qntStock = 1; 
            var stockCol = 3; 

            if (!checked) {
                return true;
            }
            if (checked && aData[stockCol] > qntStock) {
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
}
);

the idea came from this thread : 2 datatables & 2 filters on the same page

You can also try out my yadcf plugin for datatable , here its showcase url, its has 9 different types of filters + additional API functions that can help you load table pre filtered or add single filter for filtering multiple table and many other cool stuff..
