Bug in function DataTable().column().visible()

myEvilPony

I dont have permission to create a new discussion in bug-reports forum, so i write here. You have a bug in DataTable().column().visible function when it was called after hiding some columns. Console write next message 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of undefined' .
1. Go to http://datatables.net/examples/api/show_hide.html
2. Click 'home' twice.
3.See the broken markup on the table.
4. Open console.
5. See the bug message 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of undefined'

Bug was found on Windows 8.1 x64, Browser: Google Chrome v 43.0.2357.130

Thanks for attention.

The same thing is happening to me.

I'm hiding 3 columns by default, using parameters in initialisation:

.dataTable({
    "bPaginate": false,
    "bInfo": false,
    "scrollY": "500px",
    "scrollCollapse": true,
    "columnDefs": [{
        "targets": 'rd-editable',
        "visible": false
    }]
});

Then, when I try to show them using

[...]
var columns = table.columns('.rd-editable');
// Toggle the visibility
columns.visible(true);

only appears one header at a time, and I get the same error :(

I hope someone can find a solution,

Thanks!

Can you try it with the DataTables 1.10.8-dev nightly from the downloads page please. I believe the issue should already be resolved there.

Hello Allan,

I was just going to comment here than the nightly version worked for me before you say so haha.

Do you know when are you gonna make that release official?

Thanks! And cheers from Argentina,

Within the next couple of weeks. I'm wrapping up some changes at the moment and will be doing a mass release of DataTables and extensions when that is done.
