I take that as a challenge

I'm getting closer: I can calculate an approximation of the width for a specific column by finding the width of, for example, the first cell:

and in loadComplete:

$('#measure').html('' + $('#treegrid2 tbody tr:first td:eq(1)').text() + '');

alert($('#measure span').width());

I realize that the cell selection should use getCell, but that always returns false for me, I'll keep poking at that. So how do I use this width value to set the width of a column after load? Between http://www.trirand.com/jqgridw…..;s=getcell I don't see anything that fits the bill.

You're right, of course. Sorry I glanced over that part. It works perfectly now.

Many thanks,

Emile
