You can put your DataGrid into a fixed size area by putting it in a
scrollable div such as this:

<div id="Layer1" style="position:relative;width:350px;height:200px; overflow:
scroll;">datagrid goes here</div>

The key is to use the "overflow" CSS attribute for your grid.Here's more
info:

Another option is to put your grid in an IFrame.

Steve,
In your example you specify the width to be 350px. Is there a way to tell
it to make its width the size of the browser window, in order to use as much
space as possible?
Thanks,
John
