No data showing when initializing DataTable with column width set.

nick_bestplaces

The data is loaded in an HTML table in the DOM and initialized via jQuery. DataTables initializes just fine without adding parameters, but when I add parameters the data table area is blank. I checked the browser console and the necessary HTML is all there, it just isn't being displayed.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance; my code is below.

$('#select_PopulationCount').DataTable({
                "autoWidth": false,
                "columns": [
                    { "width": "20%" }
                ]
});

Hi @nick_bestplaces ,

When you use columns.width like that, you're saying the table only has one column. Take a look at that link: either have nulls for the other columns, or use columnDefs to specify a single column.

Cheers,
