Datatables with X-editable plugin

Hi everyone, I use Twitter Bootstrap X-Editable (demo http://vitalets.github.com/x-editable/demo.html) plugin with DataTables. And I use individual column filtering (using select menus) .

Table TD code is:

<td>
<a href ="#" data-type="select" data-pk="1000000" data-name ="cabling" class ="select status"><?php echo $row['status_name']; ?></a>
</td>

Filtering function is:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
			(function($) {
			/*
			 * Function: fnGetColumnData
			 * Purpose:  Return an array of table values from a particular column.
			 * Returns:  array string: 1d data array 
			 * Inputs:   object:oSettings - dataTable settings object. This is always the last argument past to the function
			 *           int:iColumn - the id of the column to extract the data from
			 *           bool:bUnique - optional - if set to false duplicated values are not filtered out
			 *           bool:bFiltered - optional - if set to false all the table data is used (not only the filtered)
			 *           bool:bIgnoreEmpty - optional - if set to false empty values are not filtered from the result array

The problem:
In column filter select option I have this:

Waiting...">Waiting...

, and select option HTML is:

<option class="select status editable editable-click" data-name="cabling" data-pk="1000000" data-type="select" #"="" value="&lt;a href=">Waiting..."&gt;Waiting...</option>
