Grid sorting issues

[joelkParticipant]

I’m evaluating jqwidgets and seeing some odd behavior…presumably my fault, but wondering about the cause:

Environment: Simple Chrome application. I’ve created a simple grid, data loaded from local json. Grid displays fine.

1) If I add “sortable: true” I get sorting functionality…but the sort drop-down appears to have transparent background, so it results in a jumble of text-over-text in the grid.

2) Sorting seems to have at least 2 modes: click-triangle that toggles asc/desc, drop-down menu that appears when you hover. I would like to use only the toggle-triangle–I have no use for the drop-down (especially because of the draw problem noted above). How can I disable that mode, and use only the toggle-sort? I tried setting a sortcolumn in my source definition, and I’ve tried all sorttoglestates. Can’t seem to prevent the hover-menu-sort (and I’m not clear why there are two sorts active simultaneously anyway).

Thanks

Item 2 Resolved…finally located “showsortmenuitems” toggle, set to false.

Item 1 is a symptom of a broader issue: dropdownlist instances also draw with transparent background color–not only the sort menu. Any suggestions to correct this appreciated.

Hello joelk,

Issue 1 seems to be CSS-related. It is not observed in our online demos. Maybe some style sheet is conflicting with the file jqx.base.css. If you cannot solve the issue, please share an example demonstrating it we can test locally.
