    <p>I am using a Jquery Datatables table with bPaginate = false and sScrollY is some fixed height. Ultimately I want the table to resize on the window.resize event. </p> <p>To get this to work I have built a smaller testcase: In the following code snippets I want the table to resize when I click the button</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;link class="jsbin" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt; &lt;script class="jsbin" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script class="jsbin" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.13/jquery-ui.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.datatables.net/release-datatables/media/js/jquery.dataTables.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;meta charset=utf-8 /&gt; &lt;title&gt;JS Bin&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;input id="button" type="button" value="Click me!" /&gt; &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Rendering engine&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Browser&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Platform(s)&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Engine version&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;CSS grade&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr class="odd gradeX"&gt; &lt;td&gt;Trident&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Internet Explorer 4.0&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Win 95+&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt; 4&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt;X&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr class="even gradeC"&gt; &lt;td&gt;Trident&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Internet Explorer 5.0&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Win 95+&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt;5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt;C&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr class="odd gradeA"&gt; &lt;td&gt;Trident&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Internet Explorer 5.5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Win 95+&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt;5.5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt;A&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;tfoot&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Rendering engine&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Browser&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Platform(s)&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Engine version&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;CSS grade&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tfoot&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Javascript:</p> <pre><code>$('#button').click(function() { console.log('Handler for .click() called.'); table = $('#example').dataTable(); settings = table.fnSettings(); console.log('old:' + settings.oScroll.sY); settings.oScroll.sY = '150px'; console.log('new:' + settings.oScroll.sY); table.fnDraw(false); }); $('#example').dataTable({ "sScrollY": "350px", "bPaginate": false, "bJQueryUI": true }); </code></pre> <p>Console output is as expected:</p> <pre><code>Handler for .click() called. old:350px new:150px </code></pre> <p>but the table doesn't update! Any idea what I am doing wrong?</p> <p>A live example can be found here: <a href="http://jsbin.com/anegiw/12/edit" rel="noreferrer">http://jsbin.com/anegiw/12/edit</a></p>

    2. COThat would reinitialize the table, so it might work for this particurlar snippet. But would it be appropriate for a window.resize event handler, which is called many times during a resize of the broser window?

    3. COActually, i've just tried it in the window.resize event: it works but is terribly slow, even on a modern machine

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
