I am trying to get my grid with full dataset to be the full height of its parent, but either the page scrolls on and on (if html, body 100% this happens), or it is just over the full height and width on various browsers.

Is there a specific tag technique should be using? Thank you.

     jQuery("#dump-list").jqGrid({
                url:  "./dump.pl",
                    datatype: "json",
                    viewrecords: true,
                    caption: "Data Dump",
                    height: 'auto',
                    //height: '100%',
                    //height: 400, //document.getElementById('dump-container').style.height,
                    //width: 600,
                    autowidth: true,

                    ...});
