web datagrid

[Simon]

Can any one please tell me how to set the width of my
datagrid coloums after I have put them into edit mode?

At the moment I bind the datagrid to a returning dataset;

DataGrid1.DataSource = f.GetData("storedprocedure")
DataGrid1.DataBind()

This populates my datagrid.

I then press the 'edit' button, which is added to each row
of the dg.

The page postsbacks then returns with editable text
boxes.. cool.

But they are huge and make my datagrid to big for the page.

Any ideas on how to achieve reducing them?

Many Thanks

Simon
