jquery - Column filter on button click in datatables -

itemprop = "text">

morning all,

New for datatable, python and jquery so bear with me I clicked a button I'm trying to get the imported dataset table through the python to filter on the column results. I've already searched for this answer, but most text filters or selectors seem to be around the filter, what I actually see.

Here's a JSField mockup:

  & lt; Div align = center> & Lt; A href = "a" class = "navy small btn" & gt; Mapping Tools & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; A href = "b" square = "small bit BTn" & gt; Charting Tool & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; A href = "c" class = "green small btn" & gt; Data analysis & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; A href = "d" class = "yellow small btn" & gt; Programming tool & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; A href = "e" class = "orange small btn" & gt; Other data tools & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; / Div & gt; & Lt; Table ID = "Tools" range = 1 cell padding = 7> & Lt; Thead & gt; & Lt; Th & gt; Program & lt; / Th & gt; & Lt; Th & gt; & Lt; / Th & gt; & Lt; Th & gt; Skill level & lt; / Th & gt; & Lt; Th & gt; Website & lt; / Th & gt; & Lt; / Thead & gt; & Lt; Tbody & gt; & Lt; TR & gt; {% Obj in object_list%} & lt; Td> & Lt; A href = "{{obj.id}} /" & gt; {{Obj.program}} & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; / Td> & Lt; Td> {{Obj.type}} & lt; / Td> & Lt; Td> {{Obj.skill_level}} & lt; / Td> & Lt; Td> & Lt; A href = "{{obj.website}} /" & gt; {{Obj.website}} & lt; / A & gt; & Lt; / Td> & Lt; / TR & gt; {% Endfor%} & lt; / Tbody & gt; & Lt; / Table & gt;  

Without dragon does not work much, but summarize you. To get started, the table displays all the results, as you can expect, basically, anyone who wants to do what I want to do is click on a button and the table is filtered, if the column is " Type "is equal to a fixed text value

I have a field ('type'), which includes five set values: mapping, charts, data analysis, programming and other

Therefore, August If someone was clicking on the Mapping Tools button, then I should only have the dataset to filter for the result, where {{obj.type}} = "Mapping" any ideas?
