Description
Hi,
sometimes it happens that during the init process
(table.container()).parent() is undefined, so next, in the _size function
an error occurs
Why is the container parent undefined?
Is there a way to avoid that behavior?
thank you

Research direction
Start in dataTables.scrollResize.js and trace initialization into the _size function, focusing on when table.container().parent() is evaluated. Reproduce the reported initialization failure, identify the lifecycle condition that leaves the parent undefined, and verify that the plugin no longer errors in that case.
