Understanding JQGrid column width behaviors

Question

I have a tree grid with many columns, all with specified width. And boy, it looks terrible since headers are out of sync with columns below, even if I have short data in them.

Answer 1

Try to play with 'autowidth' and 'shrinkToFit' jqGrid parameters. For example, if 'shrinkToFit' is true, columns' width will be changed as if initial widths defines percentage. Read more here.
