I am using the server-side option of Bootstrap-table
<table class="table table-condensed table-bordered table-hover" id="theTable"
data-toggle="table"
data-url="/getRows.jsp"
data-side-pagination="server"
data-filter-control="true"
data-pagination="true"
data-click-to-select="true"
data-id-field="id"
data-show-footer="false"
data-minimum-count-columns="2"
data-pagination="true"
>
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-sortable="true" data-field="Type" data-filter-control="select"></th>
...
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
how do I use javascript to select a Type filter?
