Table resize question

Pierce Krouse

As a folllow-on to my earlier question about setting scrollY, I have used the edit suggested by Allan, setting the height and maxHeight for the table on resize:
http://live.datatables.net/zihireli/4/edit

The on_resize call in the document.ready section is this:

windowHeight = calcWindowHeight();
var dtHeight = calcDataTableHeight();
console.log('new hght:'+dtHeight); 
$('div.dataTables_scrollBody').css('height', dtHeight, 'maxHeight', dtHeight);
oTable.columns.adjust().draw();

So my question is, why does the data table resize only some of the time, and not every time?
I can see the console.log appear, but the table will resize only (in my tests, at least) when shortened, or lengthened by a large-ish amount. If I lengthen the page enough to reveal two rows, more or less, the table won't resize. I have users that will want to 'trim' their view for screenshots, etc, and this might frustrate them.

This problem was caused by some bad code in my part, so please close.
