the page contains upper part (table) and lower part (gridview with update
panel)

the table is set to 100% width of the page

there is a textbox (100% width of the cell) in one of the column

when text is putting into the textbox, text is scrolling in the textbox,
textbox width is not changed.

However, after 30seconds (lower part update panel timer interval),

the textbox expands, the page scroll out of the screen.

Some web posts advise to set fixed width (eg 500px)

is there any other solution that the textbox can stay fixed at 100%?

Thanks a lot.

i tried to set the table width to 800px

it is ok at my VS2008 platform, and then publish to production platfrom
(Windows 2003 server)

but the textbox still expands at production platform

the page expands out of the screen

what's wrong?

i tried to set the cells to 500px (1st column)

1st column stays fixed but the next column goes out of the screen

there is lots of space between these 2 columns
