Question

In my project I’ve created a dataTable, Everything is working fine except one particular case.

While performing searching, my datatable is also searching the text inside the href with in the anchor tag. But i don’t want to consider this case.

Hope you understood my issue. Any help will be much appreciated.

I’m using version DataTable 1.9.3

My javascript :-

$('#dataGrid').dataTable(
        {
            "aoColumnDefs": [
            { "sType": "html", "aTargets": [1] },
            { "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [0] },
            { "bSearchable": false, "aTargets": [0] }
            ],
            "bPaginate": false,
            "bLengthChange": false,
            "bFilter": true,
            "bInfo": false,                
            "aaSorting": [[1, 'asc']]
        });

I found the issue finally, the issue was with the version of data table I applied.
I used one of the most latest version of data table – DataTables v1.9.3 and got this issue.

I also checked with the their most latest one – DataTables v1.9.4 and it also have the same issue. Both datatables consider the href value of anchor tag while searching.

Finally i went with the Datatable 1.9.0 version and now it is working as expected.

Thanks all for your help
