thread automatic recreation problem

frede_sch

Hi all,

I'm setting in my datatable "sScrollY": "200px" and other things. After the datatable being initilized I have a script that change the content of the first 6 of 20 columns of the header to drop downs. The problem is that when I'm using "sScrollY", the datatable recreates the thread element and do not recreate my changes correctly. Is there a way to disable this feature of recreation of the thread or something to solve my problem?

The issue you are encountered is fundamentally before of how DataTables works with scrolling tables. It will create a 'fixed' header table and move the original THEAD into that. Then the body table is put into a scrolling div, thus giving the scrolling interface. So you don't want to manipulate the THEAD in the original table because that is just a clone of the real header and is disposable.

What you want to do is work with the THEAD in the "div.dataTables_scrollHeadInner table thead" element.

Have a poke around a scrolling table with Firebug / Inspector and you'll see the markup used.
