<style>
table, td, th {

DataTables setting

   $('table th').resizable({
     handles: 'e',

     stop: function(e, ui) {
     $(this).width(ui.size.width);
    }
  });

Answer 1

I think you can add "resize" css property on your styles.

 <table id="examTbl" class="table table-bordered table-hover table-sm dataTable dtr-inline" data-resizable="true"> <thead> <tr> <th><input type="checkbox" id="chkbox"></th> <th>1</th> <th>2</th> </tr> </thead> </table> <style> table, td, th { /*table-layout:fixed;*/ overflow:hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; resize:horizontal; }

Answer 2

Edit: Try adding "autoWidth:false" on your datatable settings:

var table_option = {
   processing: true,
   serverSide: true,
   searching: false,
   autoWidth: false,
   responsive: true,
   dom: "lfBtip",
   ajax: {
      url: '/get/textVal'
   },
   columns: [{
      data: 'null',
      defaultContent: "<input type='checkbox' class='chkbox'>",
   },
   { data: 'test1' },
   { data: 'test2' },
   ],
   autoWidth: false,
   drawCallback: function(settings) {
                
   $('table th').resizable({
     handles: 'e',
     minWidth: 18,
     stop: function(e, ui) {
     $(this).width(ui.size.width);
    }
  });
 }
}
