Hi Paramvir thanks for your help so far, I'm making good progress!
I'm struggling with column width. If I specify the minwidth or width attributes in the colModel, then the column is no longer resizable. Adding resizable: true does not help. Adding flexWidth on the grid level seems to ignore all the settings and I start out with a very narrow grid that does not show the values fully.
Instead of resizing, the columns move to new relative locations -- that is a feature I do not need.
I'm also having some trouble with the height attribute -- I set it to 100% but it is not using all of the height in the containing panel.
Thanks again for your help - enjoy your weekend!
Thanks,
Peter, Steward Health Care
