dhtmlXGridFromTable

Hey,

I am trying your dhtmlXGrid and since i already have almost everything in my app in html table format i am trying to use dhtmlXGridFromTable function.
It works ok when using:
<table id="tblToGrid" class="dhtmlxGrid" style="width:600px" imgpath="../../images/" border="1" lightnavigation="true">
but when i try to sort i get "cell has no properties" error.

Also, how can i initialize everything from html table and be able to use all the functionalities...
I tried the following but it doesn't seam to work.
var mygrid = new dhtmlXGridFromTable('tblToGrid');
mygrid.setHeader("Column A, Column B");
mygrid.setInitWidths("100,100")
mygrid.setColAlign("right,left")
mygrid.setColTypes("ro,ed");
mygrid.setColSorting("int,str");
mygrid.init();

Can you please giude me(probably the 2 issues are related), and btw it's a really cool tool


Sincerely,

>>but when i try to sort i get "cell has no properties" error.
most probably you have some empty cell which can't be correctly processed, to resolve problem try to add next attribute to table tag
    <table id="tblToGrid" class="dhtmlxGrid"  forceCellTypes="true" ...
if problem still occurs - please provide full html code of problematic table

>>I tried the following but it doesn't seam to work.
While initialization grid from table all configuration taken from table
<table id="tblToGrid"
    <tr>
          <td type="ro" sort="int" align="right" width="100">Column A</td>

Also please beware that if you plan to init grid by dhtmlXGridFromTable , you must not set dhtmlxGrid css class on container
