Jquery And Jqueryui: Set Width Not Working After Using Resizable?

I am writing a grid to show task durations. I have a set of divs in a display:block and when document is ready I use javascript and jqueryui to: 1) add child divs to the block divs

Solution 1:

Root of the issue found on this Stackoverflow thread:

display:inline resets height and width

INLINE ELEMENTS do not have width, so this is not a Javascript problem. The issue was with the CSS definition. Removed the display: inline instruction and it worked fine.

Thanks for everyone posting bits of wonderful information in SO.
