Using the grid; change the width and it disappears?

#1

First off,I am a complete Noob and have just been playing around with one of the samples (16_rows_columns_manipulations) and am using Java7 via Eclipse with a TomCat server all just recently installed/set up.

I made some minor changes to the properties of the grid and everything worked great until I changed the width of the table that the grid is in - then it disappears from the Eclipse preview ( I haven’t learned how to properly package the grid so it appears in the actual jsp page that I am creating yet so maybe this isn’t an actual issue):

Changing the table width from 375px to 500px and it disappears…

Like I said I am completely new to Java and Eclipse/TomCat so I have a lot to learn and hopefully I can learn how to get it to show up in the actual page and can ignore the Eclipse preview (although it is nice when it works) so please be kind.

Thanks!!!

This is probably unique to using Eclipse, and not the grid.

I will leave it up for a couple of days to see if I get any responses and learn anything useful; otherwise I will delete since it is likely not relevant.

Normally grid must not be affected by sizes and styles of html element outside of grid’s container. So it can be really some specific of preview in Eclipse.
