How to set css of dataTable after reload? - datatables

Question

There is a dataTable :
<table id="list_details_livraison" class="striped cell-hovered border bordered" data-searching="true">
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="text-align: center;"><?php echo _getText('detaillivraison.entete.article');?></th>
<th style="text-align: center;"><?php echo _getText('detaillivraison.entete.lot');?></th>
<th style="text-align: center;"><?php echo _getText('detaillivraison.entete.qtelivrer');?></th>
<th style="text-align: center;"><?php echo _getText('detaillivraison.entete.pu');?></th>
<th style="text-align: center;"><?php echo _getText('detaillivraison.entete.taxe');?></th>
<th style="text-align: center;"><?php echo _getText('detaillivraison.entete.remise');?></th>
<th style="text-align: center;"><?php echo _getText('detaillivraison.entete.prixtotal');?></th>
<th></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
$(document).ready(function(){
var list_details_livraison = $('#list_details_livraison').DataTable({
...
"initComplete": function(settings, json) {
$(this).css("table-layout","fixed");
}
});
Then I filter the dataTable by selecting a value from a select element :
$('#cacher').on("change", function() {
var ddeb = convertDateFormat3($("#date_deb_").val());
var dfin = convertDateFormat3($("#date_fin_").val());
list_details_livraison.ajax.url("<?php echo RP_SSP; ?>server_processing_livraisons_frnsr.php?ddeb="+ddeb+"&dfin="+dfin+"&type="+$("#h_filtre_type_livraison").val()+"&valider="+$("#h_filtre_etre_valider").val()).load();
});
At runtime the dataTable's columns are not autowidth after I make the filter ; I tried using list_details_livraison.css("table-layout","fixed"); but I got a console error ! So how to reapply the table-layout fixed css at this moment ?

Comment converted into an answer at the request of the OP.
initComplete() will only run once per table creation, so won't be called after subsequent paging, filtering etc. For this you need drawCallback() which gets called after every draw.
You just need to change:
"initComplete": function(settings, json) {
to
"drawCallback": function( settings ) {
