How to fix alignment in jquery datatable between thead and tbody [duplicate]

I am using jQuery datatables. When running the application, the header width is not aligned with the body width. But when I click on the header, it is getting aligned with the body width but even then there is some light misalignment. This problem occurs only in IE.
JSFiddle
This is how it looks when the page gets loaded:
After clicking on the header:
My datatable code:
$("#rates").dataTable({
"bPaginate": false,
"sScrollY": "250px",
"bAutoWidth": false,
"bScrollCollapse": true,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bFilter": false,
"sDom": '<"top">rt<"bottom"flp><"clear">',
"aoColumns": [{
"bSortable": false
},
null,
null,
null,
null
]
});
rates is my table id.
Could anyone help me with this?

CAUSE
Most likely your table is hidden initially which prevents jQuery DataTables from calculating column widths.
SOLUTION
If table is in the collapsible element, you need to adjust headers when collapsible element becomes visible.
For example, for Bootstrap Collapse plugin:
$('#myCollapsible').on('shown.bs.collapse', function () {
$($.fn.dataTable.tables(true)).DataTable()
.columns.adjust();
});
If table is in the tab, you need to adjust headers when tab becomes visible.
For example, for Bootstrap Tab plugin:
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function(e){
$($.fn.dataTable.tables(true)).DataTable()
.columns.adjust();
});
Code above adjusts column widths for all tables on the page. See columns().adjust() API methods for more information.
RESPONSIVE, SCROLLER OR FIXEDCOLUMNS EXTENSIONS
If you're using Responsive, Scroller or FixedColumns extensions, you need to use additional API methods to solve this problem.
If you're using Responsive extension, you need to call responsive.recalc() API method in addition to columns().adjust() API method. See Responsive extension – Incorrect breakpoints example.
If you're using Scroller extension, you need to call scroller.measure() API method instead of columns().adjust() API method. See Scroller extension – Incorrect column widths or missing data example.
If you're using FixedColumns extension, you need to call fixedColumns().relayout() API method in addition to columns().adjust() API method. See FixedColumns extension – Incorrect column widths example.

See jQuery DataTables – Column width issues with Bootstrap tabs for solutions to the most common problems with columns in jQuery DataTables when table is initially hidden.

I solved this problem by wrapping the "dataTable" Table with a div with overflow:auto:
.dataTables_scroll
{
overflow:auto;
}
and adding this JS after your dataTable initialization:
jQuery('.dataTable').wrap('<div class="dataTables_scroll" />');
Don't use sScrollX or sScrollY, remove them and add a div wrapper yourself which does the same thing.

Found the solution :
Added table-layout:fixed to the table. And opened the application in IE mode.

I fixed, Work for me.
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
$('#container').css( 'display', 'block' );
table.columns.adjust().draw();
Or
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
table.columns.adjust().draw();
Reference: https://datatables.net/reference/api/columns.adjust()

Use these commands
$('#rates').DataTable({
"scrollX": true,
"sScrollXInner": "100%",
});

As Gyrocode.com said "Most likely your table is hidden initially which prevents jQuery DataTables from calculating column widths."
I had this problem too and solved it by just init the dataTable after showing the div
For example
$('#my_div').show();
$('#my_table').DataTable();

issue is data table is called before the data table is drawn on DOM,use set time out before calling data table.
setTimeout(function(){
var table = $('#exampleSummary').removeAttr('width').DataTable( {
scrollY: "300px",
scrollX: true,
scrollCollapse: true,
paging: true,
columnDefs: [
{ width: 200, targets: 0 }
],
fixedColumns: false
} );
}, 100);

do not need to come up with various crutches, table header width not aligned with body, because due to the fact that the table did not have enough time to fill in the data for this, do setTimeout
setTimeout(function() {
//your datatable code
}, 1000);

This code will align the header with the body.
data-table-basic is the id of the data table I gave.
<style>
#data-table-basic_wrapper .dataTable, #data-table-basic_wrapper .dataTables_scrollHeadInner {
width: 100% !important;
}
</style>

When scrolling is enabled in DataTables using scrollX or scrollY parameters, it will split the entire table into two or three individual HTML table elements; the header, the body and, optionally, the footer. This is done in order to provide the ability to scroll the different sections of the DataTable in a cross-browser manner.
In my case I wanted to have horizontal scroll bar because content are scrolling to right. So adding "scrollX" parameter created this issue in some of the pages which are having more columns.
Below code wrap a div around the DataTable with style "overflow as auto". We need to add div when dataTable completed the execution. We can do this as below:
$('#DataTableID').DataTable({
//"scrollX": true,
"initComplete": function (settings, json) {
$("#DataTableID").wrap("<div style='overflow:auto; width:100%;position:relative;'></div>");
},
});
If you are using the scrollX,scrollY, scrollXInner or sScrollXInner options - remove them. They may cause problems.

None of the above solutions worked for me but I eventually found a solution that did.
My version of this issue was caused by a third-party CSS file that set the 'box-sizing' to a different value. I was able to fix the issue without effecting other elements with the code below:
$table.closest(".dataTables_wrapper").find("*").css("box-sizing","content-box").css("-moz-box-sizing","content-box");
Hope this helps someone!

make sure table width is 100%
Then "autoWidth":true

$("#rates").dataTable({
"bPaginate": false,
"sScrollY": "250px",
"bAutoWidth": false,
"bScrollCollapse": true,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bFilter": false,
"sDom": '<"top">rt<"bottom"flp><"clear">',
"aoColumns": [{
"bSortable": false
},
null,
null,
null,
null
]}).fnAdjustColumnSizing( false );
Try calling the fnAdjustColumSizing(false) to the end of your datatables call. modified code above.
Discussion on Column sizing issue

After a ton of hours, I just removed scrollY from options and it's working fine

None of the above solutions worked for me, so I'll post my solution: I was loading the table into a hidden div and then showing the div after the table was built. When I showed/unhid the div first and then built the table while the table was visible, it worked.
So DataTables can't size columns in a hidden div, likely because it is getting a column width of 0px on the backend when the table is hidden.

Simply wrap table tag element in a div with overflow auto and position relative. It will work in chrome and IE8.
I've added height 400px in order to keep table size fixed even after reloading data.
table = $('<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="datat"></table>').appendTo('#candidati').dataTable({
//"sScrollY": "400px",//NO MORE REQUIRED - SEE wrap BELOW
//"sScrollX": "100%",//NO MORE REQUIRED - SEE wrap BELOW
//"bScrollCollapse": true,//NO MORE REQUIRED - SEE wrap BELOW
//"bScrollAutoCss": true,//NO MORE REQUIRED - SEE wrap BELOW
"sAjaxSource": "datass.php",
"aoColumns": colf,
"bJQueryUI": true,
"sPaginationType": "two_button",
"bProcessing": true,
"bJQueryUI":true,
"bPaginate": true,
"table-layout": "fixed",
"fnServerData": function(sSource, aoData, fnCallback, oSettings) {
aoData.push({"name": "filters", "value": $.toJSON(getSearchFilters())});//inserisce i filtri
oSettings.jqXHR = $.ajax({
"dataType": 'JSON',
"type": "POST",
"url": sSource,
"data": aoData,
"success": fnCallback
});
},
"fnRowCallback": function(nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex) {
$(nRow).click(function() {
$(".row_selected").removeClass("row_selected");
$(this).addClass("row_selected");
//mostra il detaglio
showDetail(aData.CandidateID);
});
},
"fnDrawCallback": function(oSettings) {
},
"aaSorting": [[1, 'asc']]
}).wrap("<div style='position:relative;overflow:auto;height:400px;'/>"); //correzione per il disallineamento dello header

Use this: Replace your modal name, clear your datatable and load
$('#modalCandidateAssessmentDetail').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
});

from this answer
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
table.columns.adjust().draw();
to
setTimeout(function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
table.columns.adjust().draw();
}, 3000);
to work!!!!

From linking the answer from Mike Ramsey I eventually found that the table was being initialized before the DOM had loaded.
To fix this I put the initialization function in the following location:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
InitTables();
}, false);

See this solution. It can be solved with a window scroll event firing one time only.

I was facing the same issue.
I added the scrollX: true property for the dataTable and it worked.
There is no need to change the CSS for datatable
jQuery('#myTable').DataTable({
"fixedHeader":true,
"scrollY":"450px",
"scrollX":true,
"paging": false,
"ordering": false,
"info": false,
"searching": false,
"scrollCollapse": true
});

I know this is old, but I just ran into the problem and didn't find a great solution. So, I decided on using some js to get the scrollBody's height, as compared to the tables height. If the scrollBody is smaller than the table, then I increase the tables width by 15px to account for the scrollbar. I set this up on resize event too, so that it works when my container changes sizes:
const tableHeight = $('#' + this.options.id).height();
const scrollBodyHeight = $('#' + this.options.id).closest('.dataTables_scrollBody').height();
if (tableHeight > scrollBodyHeight) {
$('#' + this.options.id).closest('.dataTables_scrollBody').css({
width: "calc(100% + 15px)",
})
} else {
$('#' + this.options.id).closest('.dataTables_scrollBody').css({
width: "100%",
})
}

$('.DataTables_sort_wrapper').trigger("click");

Unfortunately, none of those solutions worked for me. Perhaps, due to the difference in the initialization of our tables, we have different results. It might be possible, that one of those solutions would work for someone. Anyways, wanted to share my solution, just in case someone is still troubled with this issue. It is a bit hackish, though, but it works for me, since I don't change the width of the table later.
After I load the page and click on the header, so that it expands and shows normally, I inspect the table header and record the width of the .dataTables_scrollHeadInner div. In my case it is 715px, for example. Then add that width to css:
.dataTables_scrollHeadInner
{
width: 715px !important;
}

My solution was add this:
...
initComplete () {
      this.api (). columns (). header (). each ((el, i) => {
          $ (el) .attr ('style', 'min-width: 160px;')
      });
},
...
and it look fine.

Gyrocode.com answer to problem was totally correct but his solution will not work in all cases. A more general approach is to add the following outside your document.ready function:
$(document).on( 'init.dt', function ( e, settings ) {
var api = new $.fn.dataTable.Api( settings );
window.setTimeout(function () {
api.table().columns.adjust().draw();
},1);
} );

Add fixed width for container table
JS:
otableCorreo = $("#indexTablaEnvios").DataTable({
"fnInitComplete": function (oSettings, json) {
$(otableCorreo.table().container()).addClass("tablaChildren");
},
});
CSS:
.tablaChildren {
width: 97%;
}

I had a similar issue. I would create tables in expandable/collapsible panels. As long as the tables were visible, no problem. But if you collapsed a panel, resized the browser, and then expanded, the problem was there. I fixed it by placing the following in the click function for the panel header, whenever this function expanded the panel:
// recalculate column widths, because they aren't recalculated when the table is hidden'
$('.homeTable').DataTable()
.columns.adjust()
.responsive.recalc();

add to your script in page :
$( window ).resize(function() {
var table = $('#tableId').DataTable();
$('#container').css( 'display', 'block' );
table.columns.adjust().draw();
});

I was using Bootstrap 4, and had added the class table-sm to my table. That messed up the formatting. Removing that class fixed the problem.
If you can't remove that class, I would suspect that adding it via javascript to the headers table would work. Datatables uses two tables to display a table when scrollX is enabled -- one for the header, and one for the body.

Datatables highlight rows beyond the first paginated page

The Datatables plugin is giving me some issues when trying to highlight rows beyond the first paginated page.
In the JS below you will see the commented out code where I am adding the class info to all the rows. When I do this and you paginate to the other pages all the rows on the other pages are highlighted. You will also see the uncommented code below where I add the class info to all the rows but the first row but in this case when I paginate to the other pages the rows are not highlighted.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this might be happening?
JSFiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/ebRXw/560/
JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('table').dataTable({
"paging": true,
"ordering": true,
"filter": false,
"length": false,
"info": false
});
var table = $("table").dataTable();
var rows = table.$("tr");
var rowsNext = table.$("tr").next();
var cell = table.$("td:nth-child(2)");
var cellNext = table.$("tr").next().children("td:nth-child(2)");
/*rows.addClass("info");*/
rowsNext.addClass("info");
});

rowsNext.addClass("info") only adds the class to the rows on the current page, and it is only run once when the page loads.
If you want to run it every time when a different page loads, you can add an event listener to the table's draw event, like this:
$("table").on("draw.dt", function(){
var rowsNext = $("table").dataTable().$("tr").next();
rowsNext.addClass("info");
});
This code will be run every time a new page is drawn.

Kendo UI Multiselect: Remove delete action on data binding

I have a Kendo multiselect UI element and I am trying to check a certain condition and make sure that element is non-deletable right at the initial data load. My code is as follows:
$scope.programSelect = $("#selectPrograms1").kendoMultiSelect({
dataSource:new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: $scope.programs
}),
dataTextField: "name",
dataValueField:"id",
select: addProgram,
dataBound: function (e) {
//check condition on data
//if true then do
//$(e.sender.tagList).find("li span.k-delete").remove();
},
change: programRemove
}).data("kendoMultiSelect");
I had some help from this link here. This piece of code doesn't seem to be working for some reason and I'm at a loss. Would appreciate any suggestions. Am I checking at the wrong place?

ExtJs grid.Panel store: keep scrollbar position after load/reload

I'm using grid.Panel in Sencha ExtJs 4.0.2a and I reload a Json Store every 60 seconds.
I was wondering if there is a way to preserve the position of the scrollbar after a data load.
So that the user can continue to look at the records he was looking before the load..
I reload the data in the grid using a Task:
var task = {
run: function(){
Ext.getCmp(panelGridId).getStore().load({
//Callback function after loaded records
callback: function(records) {
//Hide grid if empty records
if (Ext.isEmpty(records)) {
Ext.getCmp(panelGridId).setVisible(false);
}
else {
if (Ext.getCmp(panelGridId).isHidden()) {
Ext.getCmp(panelGridId).setVisible(true);
Ext.getCmp(panelGridId).doComponentLayout();
}
}
}
});
},
interval: 60000 //60 seconds
};
Ext.TaskManager.start(task);
After the data load the scrollbar position is reset to the top..
Q: Is there a way to maintain the scrollbar position after the data load?
Thanks in advance!

Try this bad boy to preserve scroll position on refresh:
http://docs-devel.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.1/#!/api/Ext.grid.View-cfg-preserveScrollOnRefresh
This works for me on my tree view.
viewConfig: {
preserveScrollOnRefresh: true
}

Here's how you would use preserveScrollOnRefresh in your Grid :
Ext.define('js.grid.MyGrid', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
viewConfig: {
preserveScrollOnRefresh: true
}
Here's a JSFiddle which demonstrates this :
http://jsfiddle.net/cdbm6r0o/7/
However when you select a row it doesn't seem to work quite right. I am not sure if this is a bug.
The 'refresh' event is triggered from this code :
grid.store.loadData(dataToLoad);
I'm unaware of any other events which trigger a 'refresh'
Additional Notes :
I had the Ext.toolbar.Paging as a require. Even though I didn't use it, it screwed up the scroll preserve when I had one or more rows selected, so make sure you remove the Paging from your requires.
The scroll preserve does not appear to work if I use the bufferedrenderer plugin on the table at the same time.
tablePanel.getView().focusRow(recrow) is also interesting to look at, but also does not work with bufferedrenderer.

You can use the preserveScrollOnReload view config property:
viewConfig: {
preserveScrollOnReload: true
},

Jqgrid animate opening/closing of subgrid like jquerUi Accordion

I am using the jqGrid-subGrid option in my grid. Every row has a subgrid and I'm trying to animate the opening and closing of the subgrid, like the jqueryui accordion does.
There are the two functions
collapseSubGridRow
expandSubGridRow
but I can't find the right trigger for the click event to change the opening.
Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance!

This solution does not include animation it just closes previously opened sub-grid so there's only one grid opened at a time - like with accordion.
var expandedRowId=null;
$("#jqgrid_0").jqGrid({
...,
subGridRowExpanded: function(subgrid_id, row_id) {
if(expandedRowId!=null && expandedRowId!=row_id){
$("#jqgrid_0").jqGrid ('toggleSubGridRow', expandedRowId);
}
expandedRowId=row_id
...
},
// clicking on row will toggle sub-grid
onSelectRow: function (rowId) {
if(expandedRowId==rowId)expandedRowId=null;
$("#jqgrid_0").jqGrid ('toggleSubGridRow', rowId);
}
}
Hope this helps.
