            }
            else {
                table.$('tr.selected').removeClass('selected');
                $(this).addClass('selected');
            }

            
        });
        var table1 = $('#empview').DataTable({
            scrollY: "300px",
            scrollX: true,
            scrollCollapse: true,
            paging: false,
            fixedColumns: {

Hi polachan,

According to your description and code, it seems that you are initializing datatables twice.

I suggest you may try to modify your code like below.

    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            var table = $('#empview').DataTable({
                scrollY: "300px",
                scrollX: true,
                scrollCollapse: true,
                paging: false,
                fixedColumns: {
                    leftColumns: 1,
                    rightColumns: 1
                }
            });
            $('#empview tbody').on('click', 'tr', function () {
                if ($(this).hasClass('selected')) {
                    $(this).removeClass('selected');
                }
                else {
                    table.$('tr.selected').removeClass('selected');
                    $(this).addClass('selected');
                }


            });
            //var table1 = $('#empview').DataTable({
            //    scrollY: "300px",
            //    scrollX: true,
            //    scrollCollapse: true,
            //    paging: false,
            //    fixedColumns: {
            //        leftColumns: 1,
            //        rightColumns: 1
            //    }
            //});
        });
    </script>

Many Thanks . but after freezing the first column, of the table , the back ground color of the selected row is not being shown on the freezed column. The rest of the column background would be changed for the selected row but freezed column not. Please any help

This is my script. If you want detailed code I will send

<script>

    $(document).ready(function () {
        var table = $('#empview').DataTable({
            scrollY: "300px",
            scrollX: true,
            scrollCollapse: false,
            paging: false,
            fixedColumns: {
                leftColumns: 1

            }
        });
        $('#empview tbody').on('click', 'tr', function () {
            if ($(this).hasClass('selected')) {
                $(this).removeClass('selected');
            }
            else {
                table.$('tr.selected').removeClass('selected');
                $(this).addClass('selected');

Hi polachan,

I suggest that you could add the following reference to your datatable and it well works well.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/keytable/2.4.1/css/keyTable.dataTables.min.css" />
<script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/keytable/2.4.1/js/dataTables.keyTable.min.js"></script>

my whole testing codes.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title></title>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.19/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/fixedcolumns/3.2.6/js/dataTables.fixedColumns.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/select/1.2.7/js/dataTables.select.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/keytable/2.4.1/js/dataTables.keyTable.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.19/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/fixedcolumns/3.2.6/css/fixedColumns.dataTables.min.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/select/1.2.7/css/select.dataTables.min.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/keytable/2.4.1/css/keyTable.dataTables.min.css" />
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#empview').DataTable({
                scrollY: 300,
                scrollX: true,
                scrollCollapse: true,
                paging: false,
                fixedColumns: true,
                select: true
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <table id="empview" class="stripe row-border order-column nowrap" style="width:100%">
      //Your datas
    </table>
