Data Table Filtering

[chinua]

Hi,

I am enjoying primefaces. Good Job!

However, there is a an issue I need help to figure out.
I have a datatable that displays search results. The table also has the primefaces filter.
After a search I have a list of facets(some keywords that are in the result) as links.
I want to be able to filter the datatable when a user clicks on the links.
This is already been done when a user types into the filter boxes but I also want to filter when a user clicks on a keyword link.

Thanks.

I have made some progress on this issue.

I found out that there is a javascript call which primefaces uses to filter the dataTable.
In my case this is the code

Code: Select all

 <input id="results:j_idt38_filter" onkeyup="results_widget.filter(this.value,'j_idt38')" name="results:j_idt38_filter">

They pass the input text and the name of the control.

I need some help to be able to call the function. I need to be able to pick the name of the filter controls dynamically and give it some text to filter on.

Thanks

In upcoming version, we'll expose this api so you can implement filters externally easier.
