GridviewFix is a helper jQuery plugin that solves the compatibility problem in between .NET Gridview and dataTable plugin.
// DATA_TEMPLATE: empty_table
oTest.fnStart( "oSearch" );

$(document).ready( function () {
	/* Check the default */
	var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
		"sAjaxSource": "../../../examples/ajax/sources/arrays.txt",
		"bDeferRender": true
	} );
	var oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();
	
	oTest.fnWaitTest( 
		"Default values should be blank",
		null,
		function () {
			var bReturn = oSettings.oPreviousSearch.sSearch == "" && 
			              !oSettings.oPreviousSearch.bRegex;
			return bReturn;
		}
	);
	
	/* This test might be considered iffy since the full object isn't given, but it's reasonable to
	 * expect DataTables to cope with this. It should just assumine regex false
	 */
	oTest.fnWaitTest( 
		"Search term only in object",
		function () {
			oSession.fnRestore();
			oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
				"sAjaxSource": "../../../examples/ajax/sources/arrays.txt",

	);
	
	oTest.fnWaitTest(

		function () {
			oTable.fnFilter("Opera");
		},
		function () { return $('#example tbody tr:eq(0) td:eq(0)').html() == "Presto"; }
