DOJO Grid FIX: Showing/Hiding Grid Causes Grid Headings To Disappear

DOJO has a quirky problem if you try to show/hide grids using Javascript or JQuery. This is especially trying if you have multiple grids on a page and you only want to display one at a time. If your column headers aren’t “fixed” they disappear once you hide the grid and then try to display it again.

The only way around this is to use the .resize() method on the grid reference after you try to show it again. This re-draw the grid with all the columns showing up again.

<script>

$("#showSubGridButton").click(function() {
    $("#mainGridContainer").hide();
    $("#subGridContainer").show();
    refreshGrid(subGrid);
});
$("#showMainGridButton").click(function() {
    $("#subGridContainer").hide();
    $("#MainGridContainer").show();
    refreshGrid(mainGrid);
});
function refreshGrid(gridRef) {
   gridRef.resize();
}
</script>
