Menu
I am using a Jquery Datatables table with bPaginate = false and sScrollY is some fixed height. Ultimately I want the table to resize on the window.resize event.
To get this to work I have built a smaller testcase: In the following code snippets I want the table to resize when I click the button

<tfoot>

</table>

Javascript:
$('#button').click(function() {
console.log('Handler for .click() called.');
table = $('#example').dataTable();
settings = table.fnSettings();
console.log('old:' + settings.oScroll.sY);
settings.oScroll.sY = '150px';
console.log('new:' + settings.oScroll.sY);
table.fnDraw(false);
});
$('#example').dataTable({
"sScrollY": "350px",
"bPaginate": false,
"bJQueryUI": true
});
Console output is as expected:
Handler for .click() called.
old:350px
new:150px
but the table doesn't update! Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Ok what seems to work nicely is to do tap into the elements added by the datatbables framework:
$(window).resize(function() {
console.log($(window).height());
$('.dataTables_scrollBody').css('height', ($(window).height() - 200));
});
$('#example').dataTable({
"sScrollY": ($(window).height() - 200),
"bPaginate": false,
"bJQueryUI": true
});
This example lets the table resize smoothly with the window.
