footable in bootstrap 3 not initializing

Question

the excellent footable plugin I\'m trying to integrate in by twitter bootstrap doesn\'t initialize. That is to say, thank to my firebug inspector, I can see the table is han

Answer 1

You answered your own question. The footable plugin only processes tables that are visible. Check the code in footable.js resize() method

 if (!$table.is(':visible')) {
    return;
 } //we only care about FooTables that are visible

So you are correct. Either be sure the tab is fully visible, and all parents are visible or trigger the initialize event which causes footable to reset the table. But perhaps it is better to just reinitialize the table you just made visible.

$('#myFooTable').trigger('footable_initialize');
