/* rant */ oh man, lemme tell you something... cross-browser display for scrolling grids is a NIGHTMARE. either you end up doing a zliilion lines of old-school JS coding to get the table rewritten on the fly, which slows down rendering-time a LOT, or you end up loosing column header alignment, especially with liquid table layouts. Its a HUGE pain.
The crux of it is that IE and FF either include (or don't include) the scrollbar when calculating the width - and the dimensions plugin does NOT fix this, in case you were wondering. I have looked at jqGrid before, wanting to use it and it's the best grid out there in terms of feature-set. Especially I love the expanding rows, something i really needed. But because I'm more interested in having the layout perfect, versus having column resizing and in-place editing, and all that nifty stuff, I ended up writing my own grid that's a hybrid between regular JS, some jQuery, and a couple of CSS-hacks to get that @!#*&#$ scrollbar positioned correctly. Things are so bad that I had to set up my entire layout in absolute- positioned elements and use jQuery to position everything onload and onresize. It's crazy! But at least I am getting away without needing any fancy libraries. only jquery123.js And if anyone can show me a working cross-browser implementation of a liquid grid - without using a ton of javascript to rewrite the whole table - with the scrollbar sitting INSIDE the whole table, and all columns aligning perfectly like you would think it would be, I will personally award you the Nobel Code Prize (sic) /* end rant */ On Mar 7, 5:55 am, Rey Bango <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Another thing.
