fixedHeader Extension not working, no idea why

legamaster

Hi,

I have a problem with the fixedHeader Extension. I created this http://live.datatables.net/bulekeyi/1/edit example. I have no idea why it isn't working this time. It already worked for me on another site and now it isn't so I am bit confused...

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for the link! The issue there was just the library loading order. It needs to be jQuery, then DataTables, then the extensions in any order: http://live.datatables.net/bulekeyi/3/edit .

The live.datatables.net include is a bit broken in that regard, when you select a new library it inserts it at the start of the head tag for some reason, where as appending it would seem to be a better solution... Not sure why it does that - need to look into it!

The best way to make sure you get all the files you need and in a valid order is to use the download builder.

Regards,
Allan

Hi,

the problem was not the initialisation of the datatable/fixedHeader. It was a ccs problem, the z-index of the fixed header was too low, so that it was not visible. The problem at this specific site, was that the datatable is opened in a dialog and the z-Index of the dialog was increased.

So it is/was a very specific problem. But Allan gave me support and found the solution.
