How to fix a broken scrollbar in datagrid

[smcirish]

<div style="height: 300px; overflow: auto;">    <asp:DataGrid ....>             ....    </asp:DataGrid> </div> The above used to work until I migrated to VS2008.   Now the scrollbar is broken(it moves but the data won't) Has something changed?

Your best bet is to look at the generated HTML, figure out what changed, and work out if you can change it back.

Visual Studio didn't break your HTML. Have you tried other browsers? Are you using IE8? Have you tried it in compatibility mode?

I am looking at the generated HTML.   The same HTML is producing different results. -smc

Well, that's just plain impossible.

I tested your div tag, shortened to 100 px to force a vertical scroll bar, with a DataGrid loaded with data in VS2008. It worked just fine in IE8 and Mozilla 5. There has to be more to the story (code), to 'break' it, as the earlier commenter said.

<div style="height: 100px; overflow: auto;">
<asp:DataGrid runat="server" DataSourceID="LinqDataSource1"></asp:DataGrid>
</div>

Have you added anything else to the page, try the page with just the div and datagrid. If that works try adding the other controls one at a time, it could be one of the controls above the div not terminated.
