I'm using DataList to present tabular data but am often having problems with
some rows column alignment being out of synch with the rest of the rows.
My DataList looks similar to this...:
<asp:datalist id="DataList1" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate >
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="400">
<tr>
<td width="100">Fir st Name</td>
<td width="100">Sur name</td>
<td width="100">DOB </td>
<td width="100">Gen der</td>
</tr>
</table>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate >
<table>
<tr>
<td width="100"><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"firstname" ) %></td>
<td width="100"><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"surname") %></td>
<td width="100"><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "dob")
%></td>
<td width="100"><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,
"gender") %></td>
</tr>
</table>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>
....but if any data exceeds the maximum width of it's column, that particular
"cell" is getting expanded to accomodate the data. I think the problem lies
in using tables in the <ItemStyle> tags, so for each row, the table is
automatically altered to accomodate the data it hold. Of course, this makes
the final output look unprofessional.
Is there any way round this?
Thanks

Ben,
Basically, you need to put everything in the same table:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="400">
<colgroup span="4" width="100" />
<asp:datalist id="DataList1" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate >
<tr>
<td>First Name</td>
<td>Surname</td>
<td>DOB</td>
<td>Gender</td>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate >
<tr>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "firstname" )
%></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "surname")
%></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "dob") %></td>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "gender")
%></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>

Hi Eliyahu
I tried this and it didn't work for me. I'll have another go though. Have
you used it yourself?
When I put <tr> etc tag between <ItemTemplate > tags (withou an accompayning
<table> tag), the IDE says that <tr> tags can't be used in this context

I use this with a repeater. A datalist may create it's own tables, that's
why it won't like yours. Do you have a particular reason for using a
datalist rather than a repeater?
One thing is absolutely clear. There is no way of aligning columns other
than putting them in the same table.

The DataList is not as powerful as the DataGrid. It requires more work
from you since it has no default data presentation format. However,
the DataGrid begins to get very cumbersome as the number of columns of
data you present increases. Anything more than half a dozen columns or
so and you probably induce horizontal scrolling - a real no-no for me.

I have a table with three rows, and within each row I have a DataList that
is set to use 3 columns. The problem I'm having is that each DataList sets
it's columns to be different widths so when the user is looking at the data,
the columns move back and forth among the DataLists. I don't know how well
this will appear in text, but it looks something like:
