Is there any problem with Multiline columns in Firefox

Hello,

I still could not see the error. I used Link button to navigate into the other page. Maybe with in my data, the RefreshAll process is faster than expected. Anyway, I will wait your update. Thanks for your assistance.

Regards,
Handy

With our sample, we dont get any error. And as discussed, i needed to put hidePadColumn option based on whether the webgrid has a scrollbar or not. You remember that right? Now for our sample, there is no error. As i said to reproduce the error i have to move from one webgrid page to another by clicking a button, then webgrid will produce an error page(this error page is a common error page shown by webgrid when some error occurs inside webgrid). I cant do a sample for you right now, however i can send u a sample may be day after tomorrow(as i cant access my sample that i ve created right now). However u can do a sample by just adding another webpage to our sample and then add a button to first page to redirect into second page. However to get the error, the clicking should be done fastly, so that the refresh wont be completed within that time, and webgrid will pop up some error!...Hope this would help...

Hello Xedem,

FYI, in your last sample in this thread work well. The end line of last column did not get cut. That's why I am asking about more detail again such as if you have ever modified the sample again or not and your currect screenshots result. I am sorry if there is some missunderstanding in your issue but did I miss something on this scenario?

Handy

Something happened and there was no internet connectivity yesterday. Thats why i couldnt reply yet. Now am doing a repair on my system, so i would suggest you to do as follows to get the exact error. Before that the error is webgrid produced error. See its the same error produced by webgrid covering the whole webgrid...you know that type of error...Now in any of your multiline sample put the above code and then within the webpage direct to another page(say clicking a link in the same page redirect to another page in the solution). This should be done fastly, say in firefox, just after the webgrid is loaded in the first page click any link to move to another page. The webgrid will surely pop the error for 1 sec minimum then the second page will come...And one more i dont like the solution at all as a developer. Coz after the full webgrid load the grid is refreshed. Say if there are 6 webgrids in the webpage, all are refreshed asynchronously delaying the total time...

Hi Vinayan,

Do we still talk the same issue or you have did some modifications on our last sample.
If that so, would you mind be more detail such as in screenshots result and the modified sample or even step to reproduce?
We need to see the same issue in here before can fix or suggest you something.

Handy

Hi Xedem,

My colleague, Handy, is not available at this moment. Regarding your issue, may I know what was the message of the error ? Could you also send me your sample where the error is persisted and it would be much better if you also include the step on how to reproduce the error.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Andi Santoso

One more thing, You have given me the following code in a previous post above, as follows

function WG_Init(controlId) {

    var grid = ISGetObject(controlId);

    setTimeout(function() {

        var contentElem = grid.RootTable.GetElement(WG40.BODY, WG40.HTMLDIV);

        if (contentElem.clientHeight < contentElem.scrollHeight)
            grid.HidePadColumn = false;
        else
            grid.HidePadColumn = true;
        grid.RefreshAll();
    }, 10);
}

Of which i replaced RefreshAll() with Refresh() and no further changes. Now the problem is that if any user tries to navigate away from the page just on the moment as the page is loaded, then the webgrid will popup an error, for say more than 1 second, then the second page loads. Means within the unloading time of the first page the error is shown. The error will occur to all the pages where the above fix is applied. This is is due to the fact that within a timeout the grid is refreshed and before all the process is completed, the user is moving away from the page and thus webgrid wont complete the process and throws an error. In short using grid.Refresh()(or grid.RefreshAll()) within a settimeout function is not at all good. Or is there any other event than Init of webgrid to apply the function. Or any other fix, so that i dont need to display the vacant space reserved for the scrollbar. Please reply ASAP.

Hi,

Now that it seems like my problems due to update into new dll files are fixed, i would like to comment on the multiline problem. Its like still mozilla and firefox are doing it differently. The design of webgrid in mozilla is not good. See in mozilla, webgrid tries to clip half of a word at the extreme right. Thats not good for customers. And in non multiline scenario as well, there seem to be an extra small space left unoccupied in mozilla(perfect in IE). So the extra space should be avoided in mozilla. Am using all the latest hotfixes...

Hi Xedem,

Ok. I am sure, Andi will help you to solve the error. When the fix is ready, we will try your multiline scenario.

Handy

Hi, i cant try with the latest fix as its causing errors here. I have been posting the complaints regarding that on another thread. May be after fixing that it may work similarly as yours...

I am not able to render multiline columns correctly in FF. According to my design i put width in pixels for all columns except last one. Last one is not given any width. AutoFitColumns are enabled and isautowidth=true is set on last column. All other columns are left as it is. What i could find was that the multilines are appearing, however each line is clipped of, say a 30% of each line in the column. In short eventhough i can see it as multiline, length of data is reduced. See the screenshots. The PNG image will show show you the clipped part of the original text. And the problem doesnt occure in IE7.
