Grid and XML Configuration

I have a question regarding the grid.

Can I loadfromxmlstring like the toolbar?

I keep getting "window.getComputedStyle(this.entBox, null) is null" error on initialisation. Any ideas?

Cheers


Scott.

Yes, you can load grid form xml string. Please see more information here http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/articles/Loading_data_in_grid.html#grid_art_loadingdata

dhtmlxGrid and dhtmlxWindow havent method getComputedStyle. Such issue may occur if this.entBox is not defined.

It appears that entbox is undefined but I am unsure as to what I have done wrong.

All I am calling is:

grd = new dhtmlXGridObject("gridResults");


and the div object gridResults exists.

I have managed to fix the entbox issue but I have a question regarding loding xml.  Is it only data that can be loaded IE no <head> tags when doing a grid.parse().  The reason being, the following xml is being rejected as bad xml:

<rows>
    <head>
      <beforeInit>
        <call command="setSkin">
          <param>'light'</param>
        </call>
        <call command="setImagePath">
          <param>'../imgs/dhxgrid/'</param>
        </call>
        <call command="enableMultiselect">
          <param>true</param>
        </call>
        <call command="attachEvent">
          <param>'onRowDblClicked'</param>
          <param>viewCase</param>
        </call>
        <call command="enableRowsHover">
          <param>true</param>
          <param>'test'</param>
        </call>
      </beforeInit>
      <column width="50" type="ro" align="right" sort="str">App Number</column>

You loading grid not from the standart format. To load grid from custom format you shuld specify which tag will be used as cell. Please see more information here http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/articles/Custom_loading_types.html#grid_art_custloadtypes
