  Hi @fanie ,

  This is similar to another thread I just replied to. Take a look at the example here that I used in that thread. For the init to fire, you need to register the listener before the table is initialised,

  Cheers,

  Colin

  Hi,
  thanks for your reply.

  I register it before initialising my table.

  The only solution I have is that:

  $('#myTable')
  .on( 'init.dt', function() {
      //show nothing
      console.log('no access to: ' + $('.dataTables_scroll') );
      setTimeout(function(){
          //show element
          console.log('access to: ' + $('.dataTables_scroll') );
      }, 0);
  })
  .DataTable();
  

  which isn't really academic... and demonstrate there is only milliseconds to wait to have access to the element.

  So I think it may be because of the asynchronous stuff...

  That looks like it should work: http://live.datatables.net/kolofuqo/1/edit .

  Given that you are using dataTables_scroll I suspect you've removed your initialisation options - perhaps you are using Ajax? Can you link to a page showing the issue please, otherwise I'm afraid we are just guessing.
