FixedHeader 4.0.0

DataTables CDN files for FixedHeader 4.0.0. This software was originally released on 15th February, 2024.

Release notes

This is a major update to FixedHeader, primarily due to its support for multi-row and complex headers and footers, through the use of DataTables 2's new APIs. However, there have been a number of updates internally as well to address outstanding issues.

FixedHeader 4+ is not compatible with DataTables 1.x, it requires DataTables 2+ due to the use of the new APIs.

New

Complex header and footer (colspan / rowspan and multi-rows) support

Fixes

"Jittering" when the table starts to scroll (in certain cases)
Consistent styling for docs and examples code
width style attribute was being added every time the mode changed, rather than just modifying the existing value.
Header / footer could disappear when in the "fixed" state
Borders while floating improved for various styling frameworks
Simplify DataTables styling CSS
Height for container element was being set twice (to different values)
Scrolling table without a <tfoot> would result in the header being placed after the table when scrolling past the table.
Linting errors (no functional change)
Improved column width alignment through the use of colgroup>col in combination with DataTables 2.

Types

new constructor returns instance, not void
Plug-in was on the wrong DataTables host object (type)

Docs

Consistent formatting for code examples

Examples

New example - complex headers
Update formatting for code examples
Fix description for table show / hide example
