jqGrid horizontal scrollbar

Question

I developed AJAX interface with jQuery and jqGrid.

How I can remove horizontal scrollbar from my jqGrid table?

If I set autowidth: true, then I get width of table = sum width of columns, but I need width of table = width of parent element with id returned by function getSelectedTabHref()

so I make function:

$(window).bind('resize', function() {
  $('#tasks').setGridWidth($(getSelectedTabHref()).width());
  $('#tasks').setGridHeight($(window).height()-190);
}).trigger('resize');

and here is how I create jqGrid table:

$('#tasks').jqGrid({
  datatype: 'local',
  colNames:[labels['tasksNum'],labels['tasksAdded']+"/"+labels['tasksAccepted'],labels['tasksOperator'],labels['tasksClient'],labels['tasksManager'],labels['tasksDesc']],
  colModel :[
    {name:'taskId', index:'taskId', width:1, align:'right'},
    {name:'taskAdded', index:'taskAdded', width:3},
    {name:'taskOperator', index:'taskOperator', width:4},
    {name:'taskClient', index:'taskClient', width:7},
    {name:'taskManager', index:'taskManager', width:4},
    {name:'taskDesc', index:'taskDesc', width:8}]
});

Solution 1

i adjusted ui.grid.css because i did not need a horizontal scrollbar at all. i did this:

.ui-jqgrid .ui-jqgrid-bdiv {
  position: relative; 
  margin: 0em; 
  padding:0; 
  /*overflow: auto;*/ 
  overflow-x:hidden; 
  overflow-y:auto; 
  text-align:left;
}

the commented was how it was, i just used overflow-x to hide the horizontal scrollbar and now all is fine with me.

There are some situations where jqGrid calculate the grid width incorrect. You can try to increase cellLayout parameter (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:options). This may be needed if you change some CSS from jqGrid.

In some other situations you can correct the width with respect of the function fixGridWidth or fixGridSize which I have described in Correctly calling setGridWidth on a jqGrid inside a jQueryUI Dialog. Don't forget, that you should use it inside of loadComplete.

Solution 3

Set an explicit width on the grid and use

autowidth: false,
shrinkToFit: true

Solution 4

Its simple, use in the jqgrid shrinkToFit: false

Solution 5

a bit late, but might be useful for someone

You must set the height of the table only in numbers, without 'px' at the end
