Well its difficult to say when s the error occuring. At one time when i clicked the 'submit' button the post s directly saved, but for the another time it shown an error message after a 30 sec delay that post couldnt be submitted and contact the technical term or something like that. If i could replicated it i will send the screenshot to you guys.

Ah i thought i actually send the date..my mistake..The deadline is February 10th.

I didnt get any reply from you. Is that fixed?

I tried that as well.See the screenshot and compare with the code below. Multiline works in this case. But the assigned widths are not taken.See for eg: if a field is for date then i dont want it to go beyond 70px. How would i do that? But if i put isautowidth=true only for last column, the problem of assuming full width of the webgrid by the given column comes and thereby problems in multiline. So what is is the purpose of isautowidth property?

ok..am reattaching it here. And about your points, as am being a developer i dont think the developers would ever design such a control without the option of percentage width.  Also for specific design patterns, that fixed width pattern wont work. And am not suggesting to change the behaviour as i dont think its a facility needed to be added, instead its a facility already should have in products like webgrid. Anyway its only my point(Especially IE is superflexible in these scenarios. As the need for a common design to both firefox and IE arise the problem comes).  Anyway one more thing, please modify the sample to allow a fixed width in pixels and put autowidth as true only for that column(or say first column=20px 2nd column=200px and 3rd column=200px). What i thought was the 3rd column will stretch and occupy the remaining width of the td. Instead it assumed th full width of td. So the original problem of invisible words comes. See the screenshot am attaching here. I dragged the 3rd column visually to make my point clear so that you can see the column actually assumed full width. I dont know if that is the same behaviour expected. Or am i missing something? ...I attached two copies of the sample. Hope this time you will get it as healthy :).
