I have decided to rather display the information in a joomla popup window (new page with no navigation options) due to the space restrictions in my template.
I have added the aricsvtablecolumns properties for all my columns in the table and created two CSS classes, one for right alignment and one for left alignment. The only information in that article are as follows:
{arijdatatable paging="true" bAutoWidth="false" width="530px"}{aricsvtable file="images/price_list/pricelist2009_2.csv"}{aricsvtablecolumns}{aricsvtablecolumn id="Botanical Name" width="150px" className="leftAlign"}{aricsvtablecolumn id="Afrikaans" width="150px" className="leftAlign"}{aricsvtablecolumn id="English" width="150px" className="leftAlign"}{aricsvtablecolumn id="Container" width="50px" className="leftAlign"}{aricsvtablecolumn id="Price Incl. VAT" width="30px" className="rightAlign"}{/aricsvtablecolumns}{/aricsvtable}{/arijdatatable}
The alignment works lovely but the DataTable seems to ignore the fixed column widths...when I change the "Display x number of records" or browse to the next page all the column widths change.
Please can I ask you to tell me what I am doing wrong?
