I have a button that apply filter to jquery datatable
$(\"#buttonFilter\").button().click(function() { if (lboxColor.val() != null) {
Just in case you want a collection of nodes (DOM elements) just like fngetNodes(), you can use the '$' instead of the '_' like this table.$('tr', {"filter":"applied"});
table.$('tr', {"filter":"applied"});
the '_' returns a collection of 'TR' (html elements).
