Bugreport: Unable to destroy() DataTable

Taloncor

I recently encountered a bug with DataTables while trying to destroy() my table. Upon calling .destroy() I was greeted with the following error:

TypeError: i[n] is undefined

...ad")[0]);for(n=0;n<e.length;n++)k=c[e[n]],i[n].style.width=null!==k.sWidthOrig&

After some fiddling (scnr) I found that tables with invisible columns columns.visible cannot be destroyed.

Is there any way to circumvent this problem?

The number of HTML <th> columns have to match the DataTables' columns[] definition. In your case,

   <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Status</th>
            <th>Date</th>
            <th>invisible-column</th>     <<<<< call it anything you like, it's invisible.
        </tr>
    </thead>
