Get TH element for hidden column

lorakarol

I have a table with the following structure:
[code]








<! -- HIDDEN using fnSetColumnVis -->



[/code]

The second column is hidden, which also hides the corresponding TH element inside THEAD. Is there a way to get a reference to the hidden TH?
I need it so I can check the value of its class attribute.

I have tried using fnGetData to get the whole table, including hidden columns, but fnGetData only returns info inside TBODY.
