  scrollX is the current form of the option for Datatables 1.10. You will need to use the Datatables 1.9 form of the option which is sScrollX. This Conversion Guide shows the mapping between 1.9 and 1.10.

  Since Datatables 1.10 is backward compatible I would suggest giving it a try. any issues found in 1.9 is likely not going to be fixed by the developers.

  Thank you for the response :-)

  I tried the sScrollX option, but received the same error

  TypeError: m is undefined - jquery.dataTables.min.js:27:51

  Would you know what they might be indicative of?

  Hi @kneidels ,

  We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

  Cheers,

  Thanks for the example, it helps a lot to understand what you are doing. The problem is that Datatables doesn't support colspan in the tbody. You have this:

      <tbody>
      
                <tr><td colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #000;"><strong>Foundations</strong></td></tr>
  

  Move it into the thead and you should be good to go:

  Here is an example using complex headers:
