Forms Data Controls :: Max Width Of GridView?

i Have a dynamic column gridview control in a page hosted in sharepoint. Grid is binded to an XMl and placed inside a Div control. I have set rowstyle-wrap=false and width=100% and overflow of parent Div to auto

There are only 2 columns in grid that can have long size text data (with and without spaces between words).

Problem

1. When grid has lot of columns (say 20), a scrollbar appears on the IE window(as page content is out of windows size); but the two columns that have long text values in them, gets wrapped.

2. when grid has less columns (say 5), no scrollbar appears in IE windows(as page content fits within window).but the same two long text columns, doesn't get wrapped and render in a single line.


Is there any max width of gridview? I want that grid should take all the space (as per content) and show scrollbar; the content should not get wrapped.

how to make grid content not to wrap and expand to any width.
