$('#example').DataTable().column(0).width - no value?

xtech_dev

Hello,

Is it possible to set column width at runtime (after table is initialized)? How to do that? using API .column(index).width doesnt seem to be right way. For columns that have been set during initialization .column(index) seems to not have width property:

Any ideas?

Hi @xtech_dev ,

Not really, the columns.width can only be set at initialisation. You can however, call columns.adjust() and this will recalculate based on those initial settings (say for example a column has been hidden or a row with a long piece of text has been removed),

Cheers,
