to assign my table initialisation code to a variable

Without a test case, i can't really say. All I can assume is that the table is initially hidden. Call the fnAdjustColumnSizing function when it is made visible. Allan

Ok, I removed those - but that's not making any difference, whether I try initializing the table or not.

fnInitComplete fires once and once only for the life time of a table - when the initialisation is complete. bRetrieve tells DataTables to ignore any configuration that is passed in and just return the table instance object. Allan

code after the DataTables initialisation and it will work

Sure - use the oSearch options on initialisation: http://datatables.net/ref#oSearch Allan

instances of TableTools by initialising it with the 'new'

Hello, This message means that DataTables is looking at your data source for array position 0 and not finding it. You'll need to post your JSON data and your DataTables initialisation code - or even easier a link. Cheers...

town id after the initial values have been set:

If you were to use the $().dataTable() initialisation format, then yes. If you use $().DataTable() then you get the API instance rather than a jQuery instance. Allan
