fnVisibleToColumnIndex returns null

I have a problem with the code below from jquery.dataTables.js, version 1.11.5.

_fnVisibleToColumnIndex returns null and the subsequent line that expects "idx" to contain an integer crashes. I have absolutely no idea what could have caused this. Any hints?

idx = _fnVisibleToColumnIndex( settings, i );
el.style.width = settings.aoColumns[idx].sWidth;
    /**
     * Convert the index of a visible column to the index in the data array (take account
     * of hidden columns)
     *  @param {object} oSettings dataTables settings object
     *  @param {int} iMatch Visible column index to lookup
     *  @returns {int} i the data index
     *  @memberof DataTable#oApi
     */
    function _fnVisibleToColumnIndex( oSettings, iMatch )
    {
        var aiVis = _fnGetColumns( oSettings, 'bVisible' );

        return typeof aiVis[iMatch] === 'number' ?
            aiVis[iMatch] :
            null;
    }
    /**
     * Update the header, footer and body tables for resizing - i.e. column
     * alignment.

    I was about to write "there is something invisible in my HTML that must have caused it". Then did another compare of my files and found the error in my HTML: I had one line twice. Those tables are getting too large :neutral:

    Everything works ok now! No help needed.
