Actually, I like the behavior of long data from a textarea inthe columns, where it just shows what it can. I also found it nice that a "tooltip" with the full text pops up when I hover over that text. I would find it more useful however if the newlines in the data where retained in the tooltip popup.

Thanks.

Hello,

Not tested, but you can try to use setCell method where you

can add a class which does not wrap the contents of the cell.

Your approch IMHO is not applicable.

first you create textarea and the you edit the created textarea again.

Tony,

I've defined a column to contain textarea elements. The text in the textarea elements is shortened according to the width of the column and has "..." appended to it.

Is there an "easy" way to force the textarea to be multiline when its not being edited. When the text area is edited the textarea properly takes up 3 rows by 25 cols. ie edittype: "textarea", editoptions: { rows: "3", cols: "25"}

To get around this I created a new textarea element and set it for the column.

var note = document.createElement("textarea");
$(note).attr({ id: "Notes", name: "Notes", rows: 3, cols: "27", readonly: "true" });
$(note).html(StatusNote);

var row = { Edit: editImg, JobName: JobName, JobID: JobID, Customer: Customer, Lead: Lead, Status: Status, StatusList: Status, TM: TMCheckBox, Promised: promiseDate, Bid: Bid, DateChanged: DateChanged, Notes: $(note) };

$("#list").addRowData(i + 1, row);

Doing this works except that there are scroll bars on the text area. Not a big deal. The larger issue is now when I do a row edit I get the html of the element instead of only the text. I ended up writing functions to extract the message from the html.

I've read your docs, which are really good, and I don't think I missed anything. I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or missed something.

Thanks Brad
