Here's the thing. I'm trying to move some desktop applications to be web based.
Most things aren't difficult to move but grids and lists are giving me a head ache.
I've posted a few times about setting the height and limiting cell wrapping in tables, and I'm grateful for the suggestions, but I wish html/css/javascript could do just a bit more...
Question 1.
What would be the best way to get the look and feel of a datagrid control in vb for example?
I've tried a few ways to do this but the best I found is using a table with two embedded tables, one on its own row. The lower table has a div defined to give it a specific height so this kinda gives me what I need. I also added some css to keep the columns the same width. It still looks weird.
Does the table have a tag I may have missed that can use just one table element?
Question 2.
This sort of deals with the above question. I wish for my grid to resize with the client but only up to a point. Using my above example, I would have the 2nd table's height adjust with the available client height but only to a point.
I'd like the div to resize only if the client height is greater than 400px for example.
