Hi Tony

Thanks for the very fast reply.

The grid in question is on a corporate website and I would need to give you a login and password, is there any way I could do this not on a public forum

Also I have been runing some tests to isolate the cause of the problem

It would appear that it is impossible to have a grid with width less than the total width of the column headings as the headings will not overlap, plus if the column width is less than the text width of the heading the columns and headings will go out of line (this effect can be demonstrated on your resizing demo http://www.trirand.com/jqgrid/jqgrid.html using firefox 3 if you resize the client column to minimum and watch the columns go out line, the effect is less obviouse on other browsers with a small data set like this but all browsers have problems with large datasets.

p.s This problem aside congatulations on a brilliant component

Regards

John
