<div id="griddiv" style="width:1020px; background-color:Green; position:fixed; overflow:hidden; left:0;" >
<asp:GridView id="GridView1" runat="server" HorizontalAlign="Center" GridLines="None" ForeColor="Black" PageSize="50" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowSorting="True" AllowPaging="True" Width="100%">
</asp:gridview></div>
i have the follwoing
with this the grid in the div gets fitted on the screen
i want the div width as per the screen with but the grid in the div shld have scroll bars if the coulmn exceeds the screen width so that user can scroll horizontally and vertically

Don't use width in Div tag.
Here is example:
<div style="height:160px; overflow:auto; vertical-align: top;">
Try to Set gridview width to 98 or 99%.
It works for me.
