Do you consider jqgrid being a good solution since you cannot set its width in percent and only in pixels? Are there any alternatives? Thank you.
A:
There are many jquery data grids out there. Ingrid and Flexigrid seem to be the most popular. Here's a list of grids with reviews of each:

It is possible to work around this. For example, you could put the grid inside a DIV that is set to 60% width (for example), and use the jqGrid autowidth option.
Alternatively you can always call setGridWidth() to change a grid's width dynamically - you could use this to simulate a percentage if you bind to a resize event and write some jQuery to calculate the proper width. Probably more code than you wanted to write, but not too much.
So far I have been very happy using jqGrid. It has an excellent set of features, is being actively developed/improved, and the theme support is great - especially if you already use jQuery UI Themes.

jQgrid is best grid plugin for jQuery it's well documented: http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki%3Ajqgriddocs. I is also supported in asp.net MVC framework with component. Demo at: http://www.trirand.net/demo.aspx. Did i mentioned that MS supports jQuery :)
Yesterday Tony added new metod to jQgrid: gridResize, which can resize the grid. Also use a jQuery UI resizable and can use any options of this widget. The method should be refined
