ColVis Plugin doesn't work

Eric

Just an FYI, I tried this and it doesn't work right, especially in Firefox. An error that nbutton wasn't defined. I didn't bother looking into it, just wanted to give it a quick try.

Are you using v1.0.1? There was an issue with IE in the first release, although I've not encountered any errors in Firefox. Does the example work for you: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/ColVis/index.html ?

Yes, the example works. I did download 1.0.1 and just copied the .js and .css into my app. It might be something on my end.

I m actually getting the exact same error " Uncaught ReferenceError: nButton is not defined ColVis.min.js:23" in chrome.

allan

Can you like us to an example which isn't working please?

Thanks,
Allan

In IE6 when you click the show/hide column button, the column checkboxes are always unchecked, when you click on them it doesn't check it, anybody encountered that

allan

For IE6, try using the latest development version: http://github.com/DataTables/ColVis/blob/master/media/js/ColVis.js . I'll be packaging this up as a release tomorrow.

Thank you for this remarkable tool (DataTables and the plugins).
I received the same error in Firefox with 1.0.1, but it resolved when I switched to 1.0.2.dev. BTW this link goes directly to the raw js code: http://github.com/DataTables/ColVis/raw/master/media/js/ColVis.js

Also I have question which being minor I post here rather than in a new thread:

Lines 499 to 501 reads thus:
/* This results in a very small delay for the end user but it allows the animation to be
* much smoother. If you don't want the animation, then the setTimeout can be removed
*/
I do want to turn the animation off; by removing the setTimeout, you mean removing it all together, or removing the wrapping setTimeout and leaving the code inside it intact?

allan

Removing that code altogether basically - you'll need to set the elements to visible, but you won't want any of the animate or set time out stuff. Something like:

[code]
$(nHidden).css('opacity', 1);
$(nBackground).css('opacity', 0.1);
if ( jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version == "6.0" )
{
that._fnDrawCallback();
}
[/code]

I've the same error when the number of column was >16. In the dev version the problem is fixed.

I've 2 question:
1. I's possibile to show the list like fixed div? the list is very unconfortable if long.
2. When a column is showed/hided the columns width change to occupy all the available size. It's possible to avoid it?

Thanks and sorry for the english

dadokkio

ok, for the second problem [code]'bAutoWidth': false[/code] is the answer :D
