Question

Based on the API docs at DataTables site, I created the following javascript function to show only one specific table at a time:

function ShowColumn(columnNum) {

    var table = $('#MemberStatisticGrid').dataTable();

    $('#SelectedMetricList option').each(function (index) {
        table.fnSettings().fnSetColumnVis(index, false);
    });

    table.fnSettings().fnSetColumnVis(columnNum, true);
}

However, this fails with the error Uncaught TypeError: Object #<1> has no method 'fnSetColumnVis'

I don’t get why I am getting this, as according to the API docs this is how you call it. Furthermore, when I view the available methods and properties on the fnSettings() via the chrome console, I don’t see a fnSetColumVis method.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Have you tried just using table.fnSetColumnVis? That works for me.
