Hi Tony,

Another issue I faced is that: although I can set height: "100%", I cannot do it with width: "100%".

Question: is there anyway for me to set relative width (%) instead of fixing its value (pixel) ?

Thanks,

Tan

I think it's not possible. I was researching this few day ago (http://www.trirand.com/blog/?p.....msie-issue). Grid is built from two separate tables and width of the columns is computed and set to these columns. If you just set 100% width, browser computes width of these columns based on content which is different...So it would be nice mess 🙂

Not sure I fully understand your requirements. My requirement is similar to yours.

I would like to have the width of the jqGrid to be 30 pixels less than the width of another table I use in my application. That table is defined in terms %

This is what I use in colModel definition

width:$("tablew").getDimensions().width-30,

I use prototype.js along with the jqGrid for my application I use the methods in prototype library to get the pixel size of the other table and subtract 30 to get the new size and dynamically assign this to jqGrid table

Interesting. Then i don't understand your problem 🙂 But i think that problem is in setting width in colModel. You should use function setGridWidth to set width to whole grid.

Hi seetharaman,

I tried to use this as your advice,

width:$(”tablew”).getDimensions().width-30,

However, it is even not show the grid.

Can you give me more detail or help me a demo code?

Thanks,

Tan

getDimensions() is function from Prototype library. If you don't have it, you still can use $("tablew").width(), it's the same.
