Hi,If I were to have only 1 field for description i wouldn't have used HTML table. Since I have 3 fields , I am using html table so that i could format them accordingly. I think we cannot place EditableItemTemplate inside <td> ?? (donn know)..It's not giving any error Justin. It's just replacing everything ( every <td> value ) by textbox when I place like below.<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="GIMS Details"><ItemTemplate><table border="1" width="450"><tr><td width="18%">Description </td><td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Description")%></td></tr></ItemTemplate><EditItemTemplate><asp:TextBox id="txt" runat="server" Mode="Multiline"/></EditItemTemplate></asp:TemplateColumn>I am not getting where exactly to place this EditItemColumn so that I can have this textbox available for editing in the right place and with other firleds visible.ThnxBhushan.
