FixedColumns and extra scrollbar

btnz

Hi All,

I've just tried to implement the FixedColumns plugin and have come across a small issue. When I use the 2.0.3 (Stable) version, the filtering no longer works and I get the message "span.DataTables_sort_icon", aoCloneLayout[i][j].cell)[0] is undefined" that I've seen mentioned in other forum posts. The fix for this was suggested to download the nightly, which did fix that problem, but introduced a new one.

Now, the scrollbar works, but is the entire width of the table (including the fixed column). I can live with this, but DT now seems to calculate that column width incorrectly and an additional scrollbar appears inside the fixed column, which allows for a few pixels of scrolling - this of course only appears pages (I use pagination) that include the widest bits of data. It also doesn't seem to be a consistent problem across browsers, in that it seems to be worse (appears more often) in FF.

It is an internal site, so I can't provide a link, and it also contains sensitive information, so I'd like to avoid uploading it to the debugger as well if possible. I realise this makes troubleshooting difficult, I guess this post is just a bit of a hopeful "has anybody seen this before, or know something obvious I should be checking"... :)

Also having problems with this "extra" scroll bar for the fixed column(s)... We are using the nightly build of FixedColumns. This is also an internal application, so a link cannot be provided, sorry

I've just come back to this app and the problem still exists, it appears to me that in my case the dataTables_scroll div isn't getting assigned any style so isn't getting a left margin and on top of this the left most column is included in that table. Is there something obvious I'm likely to be doing wrong here?
