title: how to reset the filters in a datatable
body: <p>I am unable to clear the filters using the fnFilter().</p>
  
  <p>Here is my HTML code :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table id="todays _table&gt;
  
                 &lt;thead&gt;
                   &lt;tr id="todays_search_input_feilds"&gt;
                       &lt;td class="input_filter"&gt;
                          &lt;input type="text" id="type" class="form-control search_events"&gt;
                      &lt;/td&gt;
                      &lt;td class="input_filter"&gt;
                          &lt;input type="text" id="vendor " class="form-control search_events"&gt;
                      &lt;/td&gt;
                  &lt;/tr&gt;
              &lt;/thead&gt;
      &lt;/table&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And Here is my JQuery Code</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#todays_table').dataTable().fnFilter('');
      oTable.fnClearTable();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried clearing using the following approach:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('input[class="form-control search_events"]').val('');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the problem with this is that, it is clearing the value but the data is not loading in the dataTable. It is loading only after i click on any of the filters</p>
