jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid - Topic: Auto-sizing the columns http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/auto-sizing-the-columns Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 friflaj on Auto-sizing the columns http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/auto-sizing-the-columns#p12065 Help http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/auto-sizing-the-columns#p12065 I see. So this is not likely to be a useful approach for the short term. Is there a workaround?

If you try this with FireFox 3.5 on Linux or FireFox and Safary on Mac there is a bug which is corrected - also it is not actually a bug in jqGrid, but in FireFox.

    function resizeColumns(id, cols) {
        var grid = $(id);
        var cfgstring = grid.jqGridExport({'exptype': 'jsonstring'});
        //var config = JSON.parse(cfgstring, function(k, v) { return v; });
        eval('config = ' + cfgstring);
        var rows = grid.getRowData();
        var widths = new Array();
        for (col in cols) {
            colname = cols[col];
            widths[colname] = 0;
        }

        for (rownum in rows) {
            row = rows[rownum];
            for (col in cols) {
                colname = cols[col];
                $('#measure').html('<span>' + row[colname] + '</span>');
                w = $('#measure span').width();
                if (w > widths[colname]) {
                    widths[colname] = w;
                }
            }
        }

        var colModel = config['grid']['colModel'];
        for (col in colModel) {
            if (colModel[col]['name'] in widths) {
                colModel[col]['width'] = widths[colModel[col]['name']];
            }
        }
        grid.jqGridImport({'imptype':'jsonstring', 'impstring':JSON.stringify(config)});
    }

Currently, jqGridExport({'exptype': 'jsonstring'}) throws an error:

Error: $t.p.colModel[i] is undefined
Source File: http://projecten.han-imao.nl:8000/agilito/js/jquery.jqgrid/js/jquery.jqGrid.min.js
Line: 10

I know the eval is stupid, but when I use JSON.parse I just get

Error: JSON.parse
Source File: http://projecten.han-imao.nl:8000/3/iteration/62/
Line: 223

Any clues appreciated.

You should consider my answer NO as challenge too Wink

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:

<div id=”measure” style=”visibility:hidden”/>

and in loadComplete:

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

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.

Many times disscused - the answer is No.
