[jQuery] Table Filter help

[jQuery] Table Filter help


I have already received some feedback on this, but Im still stuck.
I am basically looking to add a table filter to a table by using a
dropdown or a series of dropdowns that will filter the data. The
first link i was checking out is here.
http://book.learningjquery.com/bookstore/news/
i was using that and trying to conver it over to be a dropdown
instead, and I got it to work somewhat, but was extremely slow. I can
post code if interested.
Ive looked at other plugins, but most of them dont do dropdowns and
only give you a text field where the user can type in text and it will
filter. This is great, but if i could tie it to a dropdown instead,
then all is great!
Ive looked at the jquery quicksearch plugin as well as this one
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/uiTableFilter
there are some others on the plugins section that do the filtering as
well.
If any of you would like to assist me, id appreciate it.
