Question

Datatable Fixed column is not working

Scrollbody width and table widths are coming as equal. So I am not getting the horizontal scroll bar for the fxed columns.

we are using " jquery.dataTables.min-1.9.4.js" and Fixedcolumns (3.0.1).js.

html and javascript:

<html>
<head>
<script src="datatables/jquery-1.8.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="datatables/jquery.dataTables.min-1.9.4.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="datatables/extras/FixedColumns.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="datatables/css/dataTables.fixedColumns.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="datatables/css/jquery.dataTables-1.9.4.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="datatables/css/dataTables.fixedHeader.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>


<body>

<table id="example" class="stripe row-border order-column" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
                <thead>
                    <tr>

                        <th colspan="2">HR Information</th>
                        <th colspan="3">Contact</th>

Solution

You just have the table width set to 100% and sScrollX set to 100%. You lack to define sScrollXInner :

This property can be used to force a DataTable to use more width than it might otherwise do when x-scrolling is enabled. (...)

add 

datatables_options["sScrollXInner"] = '150%';

or whatever width you want the table to have, to your options object. Your example as above in a demo -> http://jsfiddle.net/PEN7T/
