Frequently Asked Questions.

When resizing the window, the table header does not adjust automatically, how to solve it?

When you set the height of the bootstrap table, the fixed header feature is automatically enabled, that is what causes the problem, you need to listen to the resize event of the window and use the resetView method to solve this problem, code example:

$(function () {
  $('#tableId').bootstrapTable() // init via javascript

  $(window).resize(function () {
    $('#tableId').bootstrapTable('resetView')
  })
})

How to better merge cells?

For merged cells, when you do refresh, next page or switch columns to show, the merge cells will be unmerged. We can listen the events(on load success, on column switch, on page change and on search) to solve this problem, code example:

$table.on('load-success.bs.table column-switch.bs.table page-change.bs.table search.bs.table', function () {
  $table.bootstrapTable('mergeCells', {...})
})

Is event parameter put in the wrong order?

When you use like this:

$('#eventsTable').on('click-row.bs.table', function (event, row, $element) {

})

the first parameter is always event: https://live.bootstrap-table.com/code/wenzhixin/46

and use onClickRow event:

onClickRow: function (row, $element) {

}
