jqGrid with automatic height; but has a max height & scrollbars

Question

Is there any way to get jqGrid to adjust its height automatically to the number of rows; but when a certain height is reached that its height cannot increase anymore and that the vertical scrollbar apprears?

Thanks D

I would recommend you to set "max-height" property on the bdiv of jqGrid and use height:'100%' or height:'auto':

$("#list").parents('div.ui-jqgrid-bdiv').css("max-height","300px"); 

The "max-height" property will be not used by IE6, but more recent web browsers will use it.

UPDATED: Free jqGrid introduce in version 4.10.0 new property: maxHeight which do exactly the same as above. Thus one can just use maxHeight: 300 instead of manual setting of max-height of the parent div.ui-jqgrid-bdiv.
