 * Filtering system works great. Just wondering if there is a way for me to switch
   out the input search field for a drop down list.
 * I have a table of information that I’d like for the user to select a State from
   the drop down menu, and the table to filter out entries with that state’s name.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * unfortunately I don’t know a readily available solution for that.
    You could 
   try programming your own using the powerful DataTables API (see the documenation
   at [http://www.datatables.net/](http://www.datatables.net/)). You should probably
   only need some JavaScript to get the selected value from the drop-down list and
   pass that to the API function fnFilter of DataTables.
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias

 * Thanks for the quick response! I’ll have to check out the API.

 * Hi dpcalhoun
 * Did you manage to get your problem sorted? I too am looking at the same thing
   for my site: [http://www.gatehousepartnership.com/website/srfict-mark/](http://www.gatehousepartnership.com/website/srfict-mark/)
 * Id love to hide the County Field and use that to filter the drop-down
 * Cheers

 * Redsnapa, no I did not. We ended up using the client’s existing database on an
   external site built on ASP. So, I never fully looked into the possibility of 
   implementing a drop down filter with WP-Tables Reloaded.
 * It might be possible, but I didn’t spend much time looking into it. Sorry that
   I can’t be of any help currently.
