This is not possible at all. Please look here:

http://www.trirand.com/jqgridw.....ll_editing

and read carfully.

What you try to do is: you edit a cell and before save it you call edit cell again.

editCell try to save a opened cell.

I suggest you to try with the 3 parameter set to false, but not sure if this will meet your requierments

I am trying to add a new row to jqgrid when user enters quantity in the last row .At the same time I want to focus the first cell in the row which is added .Code is

beforeSaveCell: function(rowid, cellname, value, iRow, iCol) {
if (jQuery('#NewTable').getGridParam('records') == (parseInt(iRow) + 1)) {
                     if (cellname == 'inputqty') {
                         var datarow = { act: '', abbrcode: "", funddescription: "", inputqty: "", inputpct: "", comtype: "",    brokerofcredit: "", gross: "", commission: "", charges: "", net: "", hold: "" };
                        
                         jQuery("#NewTable").addRowData(gCount, datarow);
                         jQuery("#NewTable").editCell(gCount, 2, true);
                                               
                     }
                 }

Problem is as the line is hit (jQuery("#NewTable").editCell(gCount, 2, true);) , it calls  "beforeSaveCell"  again ,which needs to be avoided.Any help appreciated .
