Different column widths with FixedColumn

dlhk

Hi, I would like to have two columns fixed but would like to specify the column widths individually. Is that possible? I have set the iLeftWidth to the desired total width but I'm not sure how to control the width for the two columns. I tried specifying the sWidth to the two columns but that did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[code]
new FixedColumns(oTable, {
'iLeftColumns': 2,
'iLeftWidth': 325
});
[/code]

Have you tried using CSS for those columns?

Are your columns showing too much, or too little width?

Hi fbas, thank you for your suggestion. I have two columns, the first I would like to be 25px while the second 300px since the first column contains only a couple of characters. The iLeftWidth seems to divide that width equally so each column is about 163px. I tried your suggestion and applied the width to each cell but it does not make a difference.

$(document).ready(function() {
var oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
'sScrollX': '100%',
'sScrollXInner': '900px',
'bScrollCollapse': true,
'bPaginate': false,
'bAutoWidth': true
});
new FixedColumns(oTable, {
'iLeftColumns': 2,
'iLeftWidth': 325
});
});

I've played with this too and I think the culprit is sScrollX, which overrides my sWidth values. This overriding then affects the FixedColumns (you can't run FixedColumns without sScrollX)
