FixedColumn bug cell in fixed column has long content string

taki27

Hello, i just found this

Plz go here: http://datatables.net/release-datatables/extras/FixedColumns/two_columns.html

If you try to use inspect element on any cell of the fixed column , and edit its content with a very long string , the cell will expand and cover the bottom cells. Hope anyone know how to fix it?

If you edit its content's without telling it that you are doing that (there is no listener listening for you modifying the contents of a fixed cell) then yes, the layout will break - because the computed parameters are now invalid.

If you need to update the FixedColumn based on new data in the table then use http://datatables.net/docs/FixedColumns/2.0.2/#fnUpdate_details (remember to use the DataTables API and not direct DOM manipulation, since again, you need to tell the software what is happening).

Thanks for reply, Allan.

The problem I told happen when I sort column, filter in search input . When I have very long string in a cell , it show correctly when the page load, but it brokes when I try to sort or filter.

I just change the theme of my site today , and don't know why the problem is gone, still trying to find it out

Thanks again
