RE: [WSG] Standards and The DataGrid
Chris Could you give me an example of what you are providing and what styles they are referring to. Is it a table css formatting issue or an output issue. could you provide a copy of the Datagrid declaration and the html output which the client has issue with. Please contact me off list if you would like. regards Peter From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris KennonSent: 07 November 2005 17:07To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.orgSubject: Re: [WSG] Standards and The DataGrid Hi, The client is having trouble: "Just to update you, we're having some issues making your styles work within the program, as the generated table does not have TD's and TH's in the traditional sense per se."
