cfgrid inside an HTML table... possible?

Jul 20th, 2007

I'm trying to use an HTML table layout to "organize" several components, one of which is an cfgrid... but nothing shows up, the cfgrid doesn't populate. In fact, in the following example, only the first row of the HTML table is painted in the browser.

here's a sample:

<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td> some title </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<cfquery name="getEmp" datasource="MYDSN">
select * from emp
</cfquery>
 
<cfform format="flash" skin="haloSilver">
 
<cfgrid name="empGrid" query="getEmp" rowheaders="false">
<cfgridcolumn name="First" header="First Name" width="120">
<cfgridcolumn name="Last" header="Last Name" width="120">
</cfgrid>
 
</cfform>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td> some title </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<cfquery name="getEmp" datasource="MYDSN">
select * from emp
</cfquery>

<cfform format="flash" skin="haloSilver">

<cfgrid name="empGrid" query="getEmp" rowheaders="false">
<cfgridcolumn name="First" header="First Name" width="120">
<cfgridcolumn name="Last" header="Last Name" width="120">
</cfgrid>

</cfform>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This situation applies to multiple queries, and works very well when you remove the <table> elements altogether... I haven't been able to find anything to support this method or not support it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

ummm, ya... you have to make sure that <td> tags have appropriately sized pixel-based width and height values (height="300" etc)... %-based tags don't seem to work (perhaps, its CF's build-in IDS for SQL injection rejection filtering the ol' %-)
