datagrid height issues

[AM]

This might have down the rounds before.
It's a simple problem of positioning web items "under" a
data grid on a page.
Because you don't know the height of the grid at design
time how do you say
"position these items below the grid"

At runtime the "height" property never seems to be set to
anything other than zero, either on the client or server
side.

I've even tried some client side java script that says
[pseudo code]
set item.top to grid.top + (rows * rowHeight)
~21px

to move items to their correct height, but this dies as
soon as some data in the grid goes over multiple lines.


Thoughts?

2 options, set the height in design mode. the datagrid should not grow
beyond that height (if it is paged).
other option, wrap the datagrid in a div tag and give the div tag vertical
scroll bars.
