fixHeight doesn't work with ajax loading

[phazei]

It needs to call the fix height function after the data has been loaded, otherwise if the grid is empty, it's getting a height of 0px.

Also, if the fixHeight function is multiple times, it seems to switch between an auto height and a fixed height so half the time it isn't visible because of the overflow hidden.

Fix:

around line 99:

    $(g.nDiv).height('auto');
    var nd = parseInt($(g.nDiv).height());
    if (nd >= newH) $(g.nDiv).height(newH).width(200);

Setting nDiv to height auto will set nd to the proper height. And making nd >= newH prevents it from going back to auto when they are the same after fixHeight is run a second time.

Then at the end of addData, round line 462 just add:

    g.fixHeight();

so it's calculated for each change.

Interesting! Could it be why I was unable to display the grid as a partial view by calling from AJAX BeginForm? In other words, I had the grid working OK by itself, but I was unable to make it work from the AJAX form using partial view.

Please see my question on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12864199/how-to-use-flexigrid-as-a-partial-view-in-asp-net-mvc-application/12902546#12902546

Also, can I somehow contact you by e-mail? I've been struggling with some things for flexigrid and I am new to ASP.NET MVC development, so I definitely can use some help discussing the issues of flexigrid.

I posted a few of my questions in the FAQ and WiKi, but I am afraid I will not get answers.

@NaomiN, you might find the Google Group more appropriate - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/flexigrid - because that's more oriented towards helping people work through individual issues whereas GitHub is more intended for resolving bugs & missing features in the code (such as @phazei's suggested changes.)

Eric,

I tried to ask a few questions there or participate in a discussion, but none of my questions / comments seem to appear. Do you know what needs to be done so I can post there?

Thanks again.

BTW, I tried asking questions in the forum, but I have an impression that none of the questions in that forum is actually answered now and users mostly ask questions. Say, I asked a couple and didn't get a single response.
