.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / October 2005sizeable grid
I was wondering if anyone knows how to get a datagrid to size as the browser is resized such that the datagrid's borders would appear anchored to the browser edges. The datagrid should have a white-space border around it and scrollbars should automatically appear on the datagrid should the contents of the grid spill outside of the viewable area. I have gotten this to work for the IE browser by placing a DIV tag around the datatable (shown below). And to maintain a margin of white space around each edge of the grid as the browser is resized, I placed the DIV section inside of a table, with rows and columns that maintain the white-space margin around the grid, and whose center cell is set to a height and width of 100%. a snippet... <TD align="right" width="100%" height="100%"> <DIV style="OVERFLOW: auto; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100%"> {Datatable} </DIV> </TD> ...but this code does not work in a Mozilla/Firefox browser. Instead, the datagrid extends well beyond the browser's right and bottom edges, causing unwanted browser scrollbars to appear. I know there must be a way around this, perhaps by using style sheets. But I'm not sure what next steps to take. Jesse, Set the grids contents to allow wrapping and then set the grid's width to a percentage.  SignatureSincerely, S.

Unfortunately one of my requirements, for reasons of legibility, is to leave the grids contents unwrapped. Hence the need for scrollbars when the contents of the grid inevitably extend beyond the viewable area. > Jesse, > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> I know there must be a way around this, perhaps by using style sheets. >> But I'm not sure what next steps to take. this is a bug in IE, might be fixed in the next release. while the browser tries to make the body width equal the frame width, it makes no attempt on the height. thus on the <div style="height=100%;">, it is setting the div's height to the parents height. in this case the parent is the body, whose height is auto (size of content), this make the div's height auto also, so no scrollbars are needed. you to need to set the height of the div parents, so that it can calc a size smaller than the frame. add this line: <style type="text/css">html, body{height:100%}</style> -- bruce (sqlwork.com) >I was wondering if anyone knows how to get a datagrid to size as the >browser is resized such that the datagrid's borders would appear anchored [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > I know there must be a way around this, perhaps by using style sheets. > But I'm not sure what next steps to take.

You might want to take a look at this free article "Rendering to Firefox from ASP.NET" : http://asptoday.com/Content.aspx?id=2339 Also, make sre your web.config has the updated Mozilla/Firefox entries : http://slingfive.com/pages/code/browserCaps/ the actual text which needs to be included in web.config is at : http://slingfive.com/pages/code/browserCaps/browserCaps_spaces.txt Juan T.

But actually, I have already seen all three of these pages and, after applying what I learned from them, I'm still having issues. I'm not quite sure what to do next here. But thank you for the info. Probably what I need is someone who has gone through this exact problem before, but finding that person will be hard. > You might want to take a look at this free article > "Rendering to Firefox from ASP.NET" : [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] >>>> I know there must be a way around this, perhaps by using style sheets. >>>> But I'm not sure what next steps to take.
