How to fix flickering effect during scrollX movement in jQuery DataTables on mobile devices? [duplicate] - datatables

Question

I have used below code to simulate fixed header with vertical and horizontal scroll bars. See example on jsFiddle.
$('#liveTable').dataTable({
'bSort': false,
'destroy': true,
'aoColumns': [
{ sWidth: "85px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false },
{ sWidth: "75px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false },
{ sWidth: "80px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false },
{ sWidth: "80px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false },
{ sWidth: "85px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false },
{ sWidth: "70px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false },
{ sWidth: "70px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false },
{ sWidth: "50px", bSearchable: false, bSortable: false }
],
'scrollY': 200,
'scrollX': true,
'info': false,
'paging': false
});
The above code is working fine in Desktop.
But in mobile devices when I scroll body of the content header part not moving accordingly. There is some delay (flickering effect) in header movement in mobile devices.
How to fix that header movement issue in mobile devices?

Try this if it works for you. It's the other way around, but it works. Maybe you'll just need to adjust width or whatsoever. Run it through jsFiddle to test it.
$.event.special.scrollstart = {
enabled: true,
setup: function() {
var thisObject = this,
$this = $( thisObject ),
scrolling,
timer;
function trigger( event, state ) {
scrolling = state;
var originalType = event.type;
event.type = scrolling ? "scrollstart" : "scrollstop";
$.event.handle.call( thisObject, event );
event.type = originalType;
}
$this.bind( scrollEvent, function( event ) {
if ( !$.event.special.scrollstart.enabled ) {
return;
}
if ( !scrolling ) {
trigger( event, true );
}
clearTimeout( timer );
timer = setTimeout(function() {
trigger( event, false );
}, 50 );
});
}
};
Ok, if the flickering effect exists, try something like this. Your scroll is ok. It's the effect that sucks.
document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", function(){
var abc = document.getElementById("abc");
var def = document.getElementById("def");
abc.style["-webkit-transition-duration"] = "0ms";
def.style["-webkit-transition-duration"] = "0ms";
abc.style["-webkit-transform"] = "translate3d(0, 0, 0)";
def.style["-webkit-transform"] = "translate3d(100%, 0, 0)";
setTimeout(function(){
abc.style["-webkit-transition-duration"] = "1s";
def.style["-webkit-transition-duration"] = "1s";
abc.style["-webkit-transform"] = "translate3d(-100%, 0, 0)";
def.style["-webkit-transform"] = "translate3d(0, 0, 0)";
},
);
});
