resizing grid on client

[Albert Shenker]

I have a grid in a splitter pane. The splitter has width/height 100%. The grid has height/width set to 100%. The mastertableview has width="100%" and TableLayout="Fixed". In Firefox, everything works fine. The grid occupies 100% of the avalable space (vertically and horizontally and scrollbars are displayed if the grd content is too wide/tall. However, in IE 7, I have noticed the horizontal scrollbar is not shown and the vertical scrollbar is not visible because it is toof far off to the right. I added some code in the page load which checks for IE 7 and sets the grid width to 97% and this seems to work. However, 97% is only appropriate for a given screen size. For smaller screens, 97% would not be small enough to display the scrollbars, I would need to set it to something like 95%. So, its hard to get things to look right across different screen sizes. Is there a way to "resize" the grid on the client in an appropriate fashion when the page loads. I imagine this would include calculatig the width real-time of the splitter pane and setting the grid width accordingly. Can someone help me with this? Remember, I only want to do this if the browser is IE7/8.

Hi Albert Shenker,

Here is a code library example, which demonstrates different ways to set height to RadGrid on the client:

I don't have a problem with the grid height. I have a problem with the grid width, and its only in IE. Also, I'm not concerned with how to set the height/width of the grid client-side (that's clear from documentation), What I neede help with is how to CALCULATE the width the grid should be based on the rad pane it is in, particularly since the pane/splitter occupy 100% width.
