I'm building an application which needs to handle very large amounts of text, and where screen space for viewing it is at a premium. Being able to resize and/or minimize a table with jqGrid seems an ideal solution...only I have not been able to get it to work. I can do one or the other, but not both. With both options enabled, after the first resize event, the minimize will only blank out, leaving a border behind which occupies the prior dimensions of the table.
I'm new to jQuery and jqGrid, so I have not been able to grasp the concepts enough to understand what is going wrong. I found a similar issue discussed HERE where a work-around was posted, but I have not gotten the workaround to work for me. (It's probably something super simple, but I just can't see it yet.)
Thanks so much for helping.
Here's the workaround (that I haven't gotten to work):
//
// Make the grid resizable.
//
$("#treegrid2").jqGrid('gridResize',{minWidth:350,minHeight:150,
stop: function (grid, ev, ui) {
$(grid.srcElement).parent ().css ("height", null);
}
});
And here's my code so far:

EDIT: AS OF 23 May, I'm still looking for answers on this one! If anyone has solved this riddle, please provide the rest of us the solution. Thank you!
