I hope we have some users familiar with slickGrid seeing as how StackOverflow uses it also :)
I have a HTML containing my slickGrid as follows:
<div style="position:relative; overflow:visible; width:600px; margin:25px 0 0 0;">
<div id="myGrid" style="width:100%;overflow:visible; min-height:100px; max-height:300px;"></div>
</div>
<div class="options-panel">
<h2>Demonstrates:</h2>
<ul>
<li>adding basic keyboard navigation and editing</li>
<li>custom editors and validators</li>
<li>auto-edit settings</li>
</ul>
<h2>Options:</h2>
<button onclick="grid.setOptions({autoEdit:true})">Auto-edit ON</button>
<button onclick="grid.setOptions({autoEdit:false})">Auto-edit OFF</button>
</div>

What I want is for my slickGrid to gather data, then have the div automatically resize to encompass the updated grid. Currently it appears that the div size must be set statically? If I don't set values for the height of div "myGrid"
, it just sets it's height to 0. I want the div to expand with the size of the grid it loads.
The documentation for slickgrid on gitHub ( https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/wiki/_pages ) is extremely limited (to be fair the author acknowledges this). I've also had a lot of trouble with this topic on google also.
I know it's software specific, but really hoping we have some slickGrid Guru's out there as this tool seems amazing!
