my whole problem is this:

i have two grids and after the second grid (which has a footer showing it's totals - as does the first grid) i need to display something which will show grand totals - the sum of the totals between both grids

currently i am just using a table but i ran into an issue as the cells don't expand the same as the cells in the grids

my idea was to detect the width of the cell in the grid and just make the width of the table td the same

but apparently there is NO WAY to get the width of a grid cell
