Table cells that contain URL's aren't returned in search results

    Hi. I’ve got two issues and I’m hoping you can help.

    First, I’ve got a simple table that contains hyperlinked data. I’ve got column filter widgets active. When sorting table data that contains hyperlinks, I am left with “no matching records found” upon searching. Odd thing is, when I have table data WITHOUT hyperlinks, everything works as expected. Any idea what’s going on here?

    My second issue pertains to the dropdown. Currently, when selecting a dropdown option, the result gets returned in a div that’s outside of the select menu. That option is also removed from the list of options within the menu.

    Is there any way to keep the selected options WITHIN the dropwdown menu and return results within the table below?

    Example that relates to both questions can be found here:

    Thanks in advance. Aside from the issues, this is a wonderful plugin!

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
    Also, sorry for the long wait for a reply. As a I was on a long vacation without internet access the last couple weeks, I could not reply earlier.

    The issue with the URLs is related to HTML code for the links. Those contain quotation marks " which are treated differently in the JavaScript for the ColumnFilterWidgets and in the HTML for the table. Unfortunately, the JS library doesn’t convert between the different representations ?? I can therefore only suggest to filter for columns without HTML, or by using hidden column (without links).

    The issue with the div being outside the menu: That’s actually a feature from what I know. With this, a user can select multiple elements from the dropdown. And to remove an element again, one simply needs to click on it.

    Regards,
    Tobias
