RE: [WSG] Standards and The DataGrid

[Peter Goddard]

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 Kennon Sent: 07 November 2005 17:07 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: 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." The application is running on IE 6.

The DataGrid was a web control offered as part of .net 1.x and has now been replaced by the GridView. Most of the enhancements are to do with easier databinding routines and the the new declarative datasource controls.  What issues with table markup does your client think they have? The data returned to a databound control is ideal for presentation on a tabular format. It is, after all a table of data that is being diplayed.  If you have issues with the DataGrid, why not grab back control of the output in a Repeater control. There are even scripts that will allow paging with the repeater. Check out 4guysfromrolla or msdn. I wouldn't like to script sorting on columns however.
