You can use percentWidth = 100; if that helps. Tracy

Never mind, I figured it out. I broke out the itemRenderer to a external file, for manageability reasons, then called the width of the parent item by parentDocument.<itemname>.width. It really pays to explore the variables tab in the FB debugger....

In the itemRenderer I've got a Number element set to be the width of the outerDocument's datagrid.width (because Text doesn't like "100%' as a width, it only seems to accept integers). The problem comes when I want to account for the padding in the renderer. When I change the calculation of the number from "outerDocument.contentDatagrid.width" to "outerDocument.contentDatagrid.width - 20" the datagrid blows out the bottom of the panel it's in. If you run the code below you'll see the datagrid is correctly bound inside the browser window. But if you change line 92 to subtract any amount from the width the datagrid blows out the bottom of the panel. So, the question is what's going on here? I'd like the text to wrap dynamically as the browser window resizes but I'd also like the datagrid to stay inside the panel. Any suggestions?
