The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Gridview horizontal gridlines do not show

Tags: asp.net vbscript visual studio 2005, all
I cannot get the horizontal gridlines to show up on my gridview. I am creating a printable report so I want black gridlines on a white background. I have tried setting Gridlines="Both" and the tried Gridlines="Horizontal". The best result I can get shows a border around the outside of the gridview and vertical gridlines but the horizontal gridlines will not show up. How can I make this gridview look like a spreadsheet with a black grid?

I'm not much of a Web programmer, but is ASP supported in FireFox? I've heard not....
See if this works for JavaScript.

Regards,

Rob.

This is ASP.NET not ASP. You cannot just specify javascript as a replacement for asp as the gridview is an asp.net component which is "wired" as such.  As for the compatibility with firefox, asp.net is handled on the server and a mix of html/javascript is passed to the browser. Firefox never "sees" any ASP.NET code. Hope this clarifies.

Hmmm, not familiar with ASP.NET sorry.....Firefox has an inbuilt debugger doesn't it?  Can you use that do debug the script?

Sorry I don't Firefox on my system.  You may be able to work around it by setting CellPadding to 0, CellSpacing to 1, BackColor to the color you want the grid-lines to be, and GridLines to False:

After testing Edwin C's code and seeing that it worked fine I dug back into my code. Some 85 lines below the gridview declaration, just befor the gridview close were 2 lines:
                        <RowStyle BackColor="White" BorderColor="White" BorderStyle="None" Font-Size="Small" />
                        <HeaderStyle BackColor="White" BorderColor="White" Font-Size="Small" BorderWidth="0px" />
I'm not sure how they got there but they were causing the problem! Thank you all for your help.
