FixedHeader shows only if window is resized or if table is sorted by clickinf on a header title

I am new to datatables and i am trying to display Fixedheader.

When the table is first loaded, the FixedHeader
is a no show. When the windows is resized or clicked on one of the tables' header to sort then it appears.

I tried so far after table draw():
columns.adjust()
fixedheader.adjust()

My test case is here:

    You have this code:

            populate_all_data(obj);
        
            msg_div.style.display  = 'none';
            tbls_div.style.display = 'block';
            msg_div.innerHTML      = '';
    

    In the update_alltab() function. It looks like the Datatable is populated in a hidden div then you display it. Move the columns.adjust() and fixedHeader.adjust() calls after the tbls_div.style.display = 'block'; statement.

    The problem with those calls being here:

            load_all_data();
            
    //      var t = $('#maintable').DataTable();
    //      t.columns.adjust();
    //      t.fixedHeader.adjust();
    

    Is that oad_all_data() is using an XHR request which is asynchronous. So the t.columns.adjust();, etc runs before the XHR response and the table is loaded.

    It was so simple. It is when it is actually displayed so the elements' dimensions are calculated right?
    Thank you so much for your time.
