Datatable column dropdown

Individual column searching (select inputs)

This example is almost identical to text based individual column example and provides the same functionality, but in this case using select input controls.

how to make selected column only

initComplete: function ()
{
    // Initialize dropdown filter in second column
    this.api().columns([1]).every(function ()
    {
       // ... skipped ...
    });

    // Initialize text filter in first, third and fourth column
    this.api().columns([0, 2, 3]).every(function ()
    {
       // ... skipped ...
    });
}
