This example shows how FixedColumns can be used with server-side processing in DataTables to cope with very large tables. No special considerations are
required, just initialise FixedColumns as you normally would!
Note that the table width is constrained in this example to allow scrolling to occur as the server-side processing data set has a limited number of columns in
this demo!
The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | $(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
scrollY: "300px",
scrollX: true,
scrollCollapse: true,
ajax: "../../../../examples/server_side/scripts/server_processing.php",
serverSide: true,
fixedColumns: true
} );
} );
|
In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:
The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | <table id="example" class="stripe row-border order-column" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Extn.</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Extn.</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
|
This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The
additional CSS used is shown below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | th, td { white-space: nowrap; }
div.dataTables_wrapper {
width: 600px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
th,
td {
padding-left: 40px !important;
padding-right: 40px !important;
}

The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the table:
This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data will update automatically as any additional data is
loaded.
