First of all I want to thank Jaap Vossers (twitter: @jvossers) for putting a great jQuery script and solution on CodePlex for this. More info on CodePlex
My client wanted a more advanced kind of column filter for a SharePoint list. They have a assets library with a lot of items in it and they did not want to scroll through the complete list of all choices when they choose “show filter choices” (see below).
After searching the internet I found Jaap Vossers’ InstantListFilter. Putting a CEWP with jQuery in the source field is all you need to make this work. I would like to make one remark.
The list can not be grouped by filter (see below)
It only works (as far as I have tested it) with a expanded list.
The solution looks like this:

Hi,
I downloaded the script but could not get it working.
I did following:
1) Added content editor web part in my page.
2) Inserted javascript from instantlistfilter_contenteditorwebpart.txt file
Can somebody please put light on why I am not able to get textboxes in each column for search.
Thanks,
Nirav.

Maybe an IISreset will help. Otherwise please let me know if there are any errors or warnings in the eventlogs or ULS that can be related to this.
