I have a site that is a series of grids.. i have a couple columns set for horizontal width, but more often than not the grids dont have many columns set to a certain size...

I want to make the grid always expand to 100% of its container... and on a few grids, even though i specified the width to be 100%, the grid does not go to the edge of the container...

what would cause this?

Here is the markup of the page... i want the grid to extend to the right edge...

Hello,

I was able to work out a solution by adding the ContentPlaceHolder to a div container and by setting the width in percentage. Do try it out and let me know if it works out for you too.

Masterpage:

    
            <div style="float: left; width: 15%;"> 
        
                <asp:Menu ID="Menu1" Width="100%" BackColor="LightGreen" runat="server"> 
        
                    <Items> 
        
                        <asp:MenuItem Text="Item1"></asp:MenuItem> 
        
                        <asp:MenuItem Text="Item2"></asp:MenuItem> 
        
                        <asp:MenuItem Text="Item3"></asp:MenuItem> 
        
                    </Items> 
        
                </asp:Menu> 
        
            </div> 
        
            <div style="float: right; width: 84%;"> 
        
                <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server"> 
        
                </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> 
        
            </div>

Content Page:

    
            <asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server"> 
        
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" GridLines="None" Width="100%" >
