Hi,
I think you have to control the column spans yourself. So, wipe out the
spans and insert your own cells. Here's the idea in code with comment
inline. Let us know if this helps?

I know it's dumb ... sometimes frustrating
I want the text and a dropdownlist align with both side of a table cell,
i.e. text align left and dropdownlist align right. I cannot add more cells
to
do format because it's in a Datagrid pager area. The html code generated
for
pager is one sigle cell with lots of colspan.
I tried to add some html elements in between text and dropdownlist, for
example table iframe and p but I cannot achieve the exact result.
<td colspan="3">1 2 3 4 5 6 <nobr><iframe width="70%" height="0"
style="display:inline"></iframe>
<select>
<option selected="selected" value="10">10</option>
<option value="25">25</option>
<option value="50">50</option>
</select></nobr></td>
Any help?
BTW my last question about adding dropdownlist to pager works fine. Thanks
the reply.
