for the moment, I'm working on a project where I have to apply filtering as used on one table (using the jQuery datatables plugin) to a next table (which is using the picnet.table.filter plugin).
now, I have been able to retrieve the values used to filter from the original table, and I have been able to put them as filterValues in the other table, but ..
the table does not automatically filter correctly.
I first have to press 'enter' (or add a space) to one of the values. when I do this, the filtering works perfectly.
my problem is, I want this filtering to be applied as soon as I open the page, since the heading of the table will be hidden, and the user is not supposed to have the opportunity to see or change the filter-boxes.
does anyone know if there is an efficient way to simulate pressing enter using javascript?
