Hi, I have a problem loading a dhtmlxGrid. I am generating an ASP page in Visual Studio, I do a Callback and the server returns an XML, which is then parsed on the client side by Javascript. The grid is being generated fine, but then the page starts growing with blank space under the grid. I have loaded other grids before in the same page with the same code, I have just made some changes into the XML generation but the structure is the same and it doesn't cause any problems on the server. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There is no way that change in data can cause such behaviour. While structura of grid is constant it must not change size of its container.
There are two ways, how it can occur

a) autoHeight mode - in auto height mode grid adjust his size to size of content - so it will be rendered with vertical size based on ammount of loaded data. But still no any whitespace must occurs

b) There is a known issues which can occur in next case
   - only in FF
   - XHTML doctype used
   - height of grid container set in percents

In such case on resizing events grid can calculate the height incorrectly and start to grow. Please try to use fixed height of grid container.
