YUI DataTable - multiple columns filtering

Question

Hello,

I know, that it is possible to filter dataTable Control on client as it is shown in this exaple:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/datatable/dt_localfilter.html

Is it also possible to filter more columns? I'd like to have 2 textfields, and when I type sth to the first one, DataTable would filter according to the 'areacode' (from the example) and when I type sth to the second one, DataTable would filter according to the 'state'.

Is this possible somehow? Thanks for any help.

The simplest way to modify the existing example would be to build a request string that contains the information for each text box. For example (column1=a&colum2=b), modify the doBeforeCallback to split the request and do the filtering for each column.
