I have a datagrid that contains multiple text columns which I need to have
wrapped because of their size. Below is the code that I have at the moment.
When the grid is viewed in either Internet Explorer or Firefox everything
looks perfect - good column widths and the text all wraps correctly. My
problem is that the display is totally unreadable once one enters edit mode.
In Internet Explorer, the column is really wide - actually as wide as the
text is and the text does not wrap - it's in one continuous line that
scrolls off the screen. When in edit mode using Firefox, the columns are of
the correct width but the text is still in one continuous line - it doesn't
wrap as it should.

I could really use your help to figure out why I can't get the text to wrap
in edit mode and why in Internet Explorer I can't control the width of the
column in edit mode.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.
