I upgraded our ASP.NET 1.1 project to ASP.NET 2.0 (Visual Studio 2008).
In the process, I also upgraded the components from NetAdvantage 4.2 to NetAdvantage 10.3.
One issue I'm running into with the UltraWebGrid is when I double click on a cell to edit, the edit box that is created is not the size of the cell, and it is shifted into the upper-left corner of the cell.
If I click the "compatibility view" button on IE8, the edit box works as expected.
I haven't run any of the SR patches for 10.3, but I haven't seen anything in the patch notes that indicate anything like this was fixed.
Has anyone run into this? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?
I got the same thing.
The only solution I was able to find was to upgrade my site so that it was XHTML compatible and upgrade to the WebDataGrid.
Alternatively, you could use a meta tag to force the browser to render in compatibility mode. There are different settings for this meta tag, so you might want to do some experimenting.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
However, if you do that, there are drawbacks. Some of the newer Aikido controls don't work right in compatibility mode. So at some point, there needs to be a decision of when to upgrade.
Maybe someone at Infragistics has a better answer?
Thanks, Rob.
Your thoughts sent me on an excursion...where I discovered (as have many others, apparently) that using that meta tag is NOT the same as clicking the Compatibility View button. If it was, this would at least be a temporary solution until we could move to WebDataGrid, etc.
So, even when I insert that tag, the same problem exists. If I click the button, it goes away. Bizarre!
Ugly! That's not what we want... *sigh*.. thank you Microsoft!
I *think* that "Compatibility mode" is the same as "Quirks mode". I checked a couple of sites, and they seemed to indicate that Compatibility and Quirks modes were synonymous.
If that's the case, then according to this, IE=5 would put it into compatibility mode?
Just a thought...

hey!
I have the same issue. Does anyone has a solution? The cell-edit box shows up perfectly in IE8 compatibility mode, however I have to make it work in IE8 standard mode (browser mode) and IE7 Standards (Document mode). Please provide help if anyone has a solution to this.
