DataTables: Cannot read property style of undefined

Question

I am getting this error with the following:

jquery.dataTables.js:4089 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property \'style\' of undefined(…)
_fnCalculateColumnWi         


        

Answer 1

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Number of th elements in the table header or footer differs from number of columns in the table body or defined using columns option.
• Attribute colspan is used for th element in the table header.
• Incorrect column index specified in columnDefs.targets option.

SOLUTIONS

• Make sure that number of th elements in the table header or footer matches number of columns defined in the columns option.
• If you use colspan attribute in the table header, make sure you have at least two header rows and one unique th element for each column. See Complex header for more information.
• If you use columnDefs.targets option, make sure that zero-based column index refers to existing columns.
