In ASP.NET Gridviews generate a table which generates a parent div container. This can break CSS layouts since there is no way to attach styles to the generated div. Is there a way to prevent the div from generating or a way to apply a style to it?
This was asked and marked as resolved here but MS just said that the div is needed for the Paging and Sorting functionality. Am I to understand that if I want to use the paging and sorting functionality I can't wrap my own div around it and apply a style? Thanks
I've never done this, but I my first guess would be you could grab the rendered html output just before it gets to the browser, remove the outer div and then htmltextwrite out your new rendered html in the prerender event or make a user or custom control to do this.
But then you risk breaking the functionality of the gridview but if you know you won't be using the features that use the div, then you might get away with it.
