dojox.grid.Grid rows not displaying in IE

September 16th, 2008

If the parent container of a dojox.grid.Grid has its style set to text-align:center the rows of the grid, in IE, won’t display their data. The data, of course, is still there and displays correct in everything else.

Code Snip:

   1:  <h2>Working</h2>
   2:         <div id="dojoxGrid" dojoType="dojox.Grid" jsId="dojoxGrid" structure="layout"></div>
   3:      <h2>Not Working (in IE)</h2>
   4:      <div style="text-align:center;">
   5:          <div id="dojoxGridError" dojoType="dojox.Grid" jsId="dojoxGridError" structure="layout"></div>
   6:      </div>

IE8: CSS Expressions are no longer supported in Standards Mode

August 28th, 2008

In case you don’t know, CSS expressions were actual bits of JavaScript that you could run from CSS rules; this was commonly used to simulate the CSS max-width property for IE:

 
CSS:
  1.  
  2. div.someClass {
  3. /* Internet Explorer */
  4. width: expression(document.body.clientWidth&gt; 600) ? "600px" : "auto";
  5. /* Standards-compliant browsers */
  6. max-width: 600px;
  7. }
