  As a followup to my initial question, would it be possible for FixedColumn to skip drawing if the table below already fits the screen width?

  Which version of FixedColumns are you using? If not 3.0.0 then I would suggest updating. Can you please link to a test case so I can debug it?

  I'm running DT 1.9.4 with FixedColumns 2.5.0. Just tried updating to 3.0.0 and now I'm getting a script error...
  
  [quote]ReferenceError: FixedColumns is not defined
  new FixedColumns( oTable, oFixedOptions);[/quote]
  
  [code]
  var oTable = jq('#work_orders').dataTable(oDTSettings);
  //console.log(oTable.fnSettings());
  
  var oFixedOptions = {
  "fnRowCallback": '',
  "fnDrawCallback": fnPluginDrawCallback,
  "iLeftColumns": 0,
  "sHeightMatch": "none"
  }
  
  // If the last column is icons, apply the fixed column plugin
  if(window.aoColumnDefs[window.aoColumnDefs.length-1].mData == "icons"){
  oFixedOptions.iRightColumns = 1;
  }
  
  // Don't render on IE8 or below
  if (!(jq.browser.msie && jq.browser.version <= '8')){
  new FixedColumns( oTable, oFixedOptions);
  }
  [/code]
  
  EDIT: Here is a link to jsFiddle running DT 1.9.4 and FixedColumn 3.0.0 with the same error.

  With 3.0.0 you need to use `$.fn.dataTable.FixedColums` : http://jsfiddle.net/MEWQZ/4/ .
  
  All of the plug-ins have been updated to not pollute the global namespace with their latest releases: http://datatables.net/extras/fixedcolumns/

  Got it. So to revisit my original question, when you initially load the page and then resize it, the fixed column is doubled, including duplicating any unique ids which is causing other problems.

  Could the original cells be replaced with empty placeholders or maybe just fix the column width below?

  The sScrollXInner option is mucking stuff up. I'd very much recommend not using it (it is going to be undocumented in v1.10). Just remove it and let the browser assign the column widths. If you want content to be on a single row, use `td { white-space: nowrap; }` (which is the normal reason for using sScrollXInner ).

  I actually don't use sScrollXInner on the live code, that test page was just to show the FixedColumn error. I actually only use sScrollX: 100% because without it, DataTAbles spills off the edge of the screen and creates double scrollbars.

  Fantastic - thanks for the link. I don't have an immediate fix to suggest, other than trying DataTables 1.10 dev? I'm about to dash out the door, but I'll take a look at this when I can.
