   Filtering system works great. Just wondering if there is a way for me to switch out the input search field for a drop down list.

   I have a table of information that I'd like for the user to select a State from the drop down menu, and the table to filter out entries with that state's name.

   Thanks!

   Hi,

   unfortunately I don't know a readily available solution for that.
   You could try programming your own using the powerful DataTables API (see the documenation at http://www.datatables.net/). You should probably only need some JavaScript to get the selected value from the drop-down list and pass that to the API function fnFilter of DataTables.

   Best wishes,
   Tobias

   Thanks for the quick response! I'll have to check out the API.

   Hi dpcalhoun

   Did you manage to get your problem sorted? I too am looking at the same thing for my site: http://www.gatehousepartnership.com/website/srfict-mark/

   Id love to hide the County Field and use that to filter the drop-down

   Cheers

   Dom

   Redsnapa, no I did not. We ended up using the client's existing database on an external site built on ASP. So, I never fully looked into the possibility of implementing a drop down filter with WP-Tables Reloaded.

   It might be possible, but I didn't spend much time looking into it. Sorry that I can't be of any help currently.
