Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'aoColumns' of undefined

I am trying to us the FixedColumns plugin but am getting the error message above. I am have some tables where I do not get this error message. The only difference I think between my two tables is that the one that gets the error is is "off" the page when it renders. I suspect the columns haven't been drawn yet. Is this possible? How can I force the redrawing of the table?

My mistake. Turns out I was not successfully creating a datatable before trying to fix the columns
