I'm having some trouble dynamically changing the height of a grid. I have some sort of a widget (in this case just a plain vanilla HTML button) that will increase or decrease the height of a DIV element which contains a Grid widget.

How would I get the Grid to adapt its height any time the height of the containing DIV element changes?

I would like to implement custom sorting, say numeric sort, instead of the default alphabetic sort,
but the solution provided at:

http://dojotoolkit.org/forum/dojox-dojox/dojox-grid-support/custom-colum...

does not seem to work for dojo 1.0.2 - perhaps it works in 1.1.0. What function do I need to override or register to replace the default comparator in either the model or the store for dojo 1.0.2?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Guys,

I want to have a dynamic view layout that should be defined in the same store as the data is. I first tryed the sample below with the view layout defined in the js-file. This works fine.

var store;
var ddata;
var grid;
var view1 = {
cells: [[
{name: 'name', field: "name"},
{name: 'vorname', width: "25em", field: "vorname"}
],

I have picked up a couple of quirky behaviours with a grid that is wide enough to have horizontal scrollbars.

i) if the grid is scrolled to the right, and then you sort on a column, the grid headers become misaligned with the body rows - the body rows snap back to full left scroll, whereas the headers stay in their scrolled position, at least until you scroll again;
ii) if the grid is scrolled to the right, and you select a row, both body and headers snap back to full left scroll.

I am just making my baby steps around the Dojo world. I am amazed at all the things I did not know :-).

My question is what is the best way to fetch a row from using the row index from the Grid?

I have a custom store that extends ItemFileWrite store. This store has a method , saveItem with the following body.

<javascript>

saveItem:
function( index,
templateToSave,
postUrl,
postVariable,
_onLoad,
_onError) {

I've gotten the TimeTextBox to work, sort of, in a grid by including a dojo.declare in the script section of my JSP:

dojo.declare(
	"dojox.grid.editors.TimeTextBox", dijit.form.editors.Dijit,
	{	

..

But, I can't get the result to format properly. I keep getting a full date/time like: Sat Jan 01 1972 14:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) instead of just "HH:MM A".

I've tried

dojo.declare("dojox.grid.editors.TimeTextBox", dijit.form.editors.Dijit,{
	editorClass: "dijit.form.TimeTextBox",
