Josh, Sadly, I have been repeatedly annoyed with CFGrid and am about to drop using it. Here are a few of the reasons and they include yours:
1) Same problem you are having, Java compatibility problems presumably 2) CFGridUpdate sucks...plain and simple, it just doesn't work consistently 3) forcing database updates manually using grid submitted info doesn't work consistently, who knows if it is DB specific or not (i.e. values with '' won't save consistently 4) scrolling problems with the grid 5) inability to define individual widths to each field in the grid 6) single row of text for each data record, so really long text fields pose massive display and editing problems because you can't show the grid with 2-4+ rows of text for each row of record 7) As far as I can tell, no appreciable functionality upgrades or bug fixes between CF 4, 4.5, 5, & MX I feel for you...I haven't found much online support, examples, or help for these issues. Likewise, I searched for a drop in Flash replacement for the grid to see if there would be a fix using that route, nothing...no custom tags either.

Could be I'm missing it, but I'm not sure....So.... What happens, is that a random amount of the time (maybe about 15%) CFGrid loads up in a page, and the gray "java" box goes accross the width of screen as it should, but the grid piece only goes about half-way accross the screen. It also cuts off columns that would have been farther right than its border, and does not have a scroll bar to see them with. If I refresh, let it display, see the results, and refresh again, it happens consistantly at a random interval (IE: I can always get it to happen, but the amount of times required is not constant). 1. Has anyone else seen this? and.... 2. Any fix? I'll include the code, for what it's worth.... <cfgrid height="150" query="ContactInfo" name="gridContacts" insert="no" delete="no" width="800"> <cfgridcolumn name="FullName" width="170" header="Name" href="../Contacts/contacts.cfm?Action=View&ContactID=#ContactInfo.Contac tID# "> <cfgridcolumn name="Title" header="Title" width="170"> <Cfgridcolumn name="WorkPhone" header="Phone" width="150"> <cfgridcolumn name="Email" header="Email" width="200" href="mailto:#ContactInfo.Email#";> </cfgrid> Josh Remus Network Administrator FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
