Thank you, Yudi, this last suggestion with the "!important" statement worked.

Hello,

If it help to diagnose the problem, I'm attaching a screen shot of what we see in SharePoint using Firefox.  Setting the Grid Height to auto does not seem to calibrate the grid's height to fit the data, but rather sets it at some fixed value.  The secod grid on the page displays a vertical scroll bar and runs off the page.  I'm also attaching a modified ClassicPaging example page from the LiveSamples to show that the second grid displays a vertical scroll bar here as well, even though the settings are identical.  Perhaps it's a css issue.  Any help on this matter would be invaluable.

Yudi,

When we initially started trying to style the column headers this was the way I attempted to modify the styling the way that you're suggesting on the server side.  For some reason I was never able to see any effect.  I was able to influence the headers' background color, the borders, anything, but not the font styling. I can even set the bold/italic/underline on the server side through code - everything but the font name and size.  I don't know if it's the SharePoint environment interfering, or some other factor, but in the end, the only thing that I was able to get working is setting the font style this way:

protected void WebGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.LayoutEventArgs e)
{
   WebGridColumn column = WebGrid1.RootTable.Columns.GetNamedItem('ColName');
   column.Caption = '<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:X-Small;">ColName</div>';
}

I'm not really sure what the problem is, but I've spent way too much time trying to set it the easy and 'pretty' way.  I put the setting just about everywhere I could on the server side, and I never saw ANY effect, except when I finally went directly to the column's .Caption property.

So if there's any javascript workaround that I can use to control the text that's displayed in the Selected Columns menu, that would be great..

No errors appear when I try to expand the web part menu.  Nothing happens on the page, as if my action is completely ignored.

Gordon,

I'm still unable to expand WebMenuBar's MenuCommands by tabbing into the WebMenuBar.  Once I mouse-click a MenuCommand, the items expand just fine, and I'm able to use the arrow keys to navigate the MenuCommands.  But how can I expand the MenuCommand initially without using my mouse?  We're trying to achieve 508 compliance in our product, so this ability is pretty critical.

Thank yo for all your help,

Dasha.
