Hi everybody,

I am new in using the datatables library, and in general with jquery, but I am hope someone can help me out.

I am trying to use the freezed columns plug-in to freeze some of (the left) columns in my table. Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the horizontal scrollbar.

Indeed, the scrollbar works almost fine; the issue is that it extends also to the freezed columns. I hope to explain myself better by referring to this example:

http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/FixedColumns/index.html

in the table, the scrolling bar is limited to the non-freezed columns, moreover the freezed-column (Rendering Engine) is not covering or hiding the original "Rendering Engine" column.

Actually, the table is split in two parts:

>> (Freezed Column: Rendering Engine) + (Non-Freezed Columns: Other columns with exception of the Rendering Engine)
and the scrollbar is just under the non freezed one.


in my table, the scrolling bar is extend all trough the table, moreover I can see (also from firebug) that the freezed-columns are overlapping/hiding the original columns that sit behind the freezed-one. In someway, the freezed columns are cloned and put as a layer on top of the original table. So we have:

>> (Freezed Columns: Cloned columns from the original) + Non-Freezed Columns: All the columns in my table
and the scrollbar is extend to all the columns. Moreover, if I try to scroll under the freezed columns, I am not able to scroll, probably because although I can see the scrollbar, there are the cloned columns that do not allow me to reach the scrollbar.


I hope I make my self clear :(

Thank you in advance for any suggestion, much appreciated.

    Try the FixedColumns 2.5.0.dev version from the downloads page ( http://datatables.net/download ). That version retools how FixedColumns works and extends the scrollbar the whole way. The table is still split (it has to be), but the scrolling will now work as expected.

    Hi Allan,
    first thanks for your prompt answer.

    The problem still persist. I was using FixedColumns 2.5.0.dev. I just double checked re-dowloading again the file, but I have the same problem.

    Any clue? Is there some information I can provide for troubleshooting?
    Thanks again
