forefox/gridview rendering issues

[columbo2]

Hi All,
I am trying to create a gidview but I am having a right nightmare trying to get it to display in firefox as it does in IE (or similar).

I've been trying to replace a table in an HTML document with a gridview but I'm finding that the gridview is retstrictive and unpredictable with respect to styling.

The main issue I have is that in edit mode, my column widths are ignored. This is the markup for one of the troublesome columns.

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID" InsertVisible="False" SortExpression="job_id">
<HeaderStyle Font-Names="Verdana" ForeColor="Black" Width="40px" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LabID" runat="server" Font-Names="Verdana" ForeColor="Black" Width="35px" Text='<%# Bind("job_id") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterStyle Font-Names="Verdana" ForeColor="Black" Width="35px" />
</asp:TemplateField>

As you can see I've tried putting the column width in every location possible but FF just ignores it and shrinks to the width of the column title text.

My alternative thought is to have the table in normal HTML and just drop textboxes and labels into the relevant places - is this normal practice?

thanks
C

When the page is called, .Net will produce a HTML representation of the Datagrid, so look at the output in ie and in firefox, adn see what is hapening there.

You havent shown your edit item template there though, just the item template. Im guessing that the header or footer width is overriding the edit item width.
