Yes, it's what I mean. Pobably I expressed me not clear enough before. In general one can excape or use a numerical code of any ISO 10646 character (see here) used in the selector.

You can use code like

$.extend($.jgrid, {
jqID: function (sid) {
return String(sid).replace(/[!"#$%&'()*+, .\\/:;<=>?@\\[\\\\\\]\\^`{|}~]/g,"\\\\$&");
}
});

to change jqID without modification of the source code of jqGrid.

I don't recommend you use ids which includes blanks inside, but sometimes one have no control on the data which produce the foreign server code. So I personally find good to extend the code of jqID to include blank in the list of characters excaped by jqID.

@Tony: what do you think about?

Best regards

Oleg, I just realized that you meant to modify the regex string inside jqID() to include spaces. That seems to do the trick.

Oleg, I'm not understanding how to use $.jgrid.jqID to accomplish this. Is this separate from the grid initialization? How is it supposed to be called? I've tried adding:

jQuery.jgrid.jqID(' ');

but this doesn't seem to have any affect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want modify the code you should better use $.jgrid.jqID instead of replacement of blanks to undescores. The function $.jgrid.jqID are used in the most places of jqGrid code, but still not everywhere. The problem it very easy. It one have meta-characters as the part of id and one want to use the id as a part of the jQuery selector one have to escape the characters. The method $.jgrid.jqID do exactly the job.

I decided to hack viewGridRow() instead. I added this line:

nm = nm.replace(' ', '_');

in two places; first between these two lines in function createData():

setme = false;

nm = this.name;

second, between these two lines in function fillData():

nm = obj.p.colModel[i].name;

// hidden fields are included in the form

Now, all ids are created with underscores in the place of spaces and all is well.

Your problem is that you use tableToGrid plugin insted of the usage of jqGrid directly. If you need use titel having blanks you should use colNames option of jqGrid (or the same option of tableToGrid) instead of the usage of ids having blanks.

Oleg, I have to say that I consider this to be a design flaw. We shouldn't have to follow variable naming constraints for our titles. If spaces in the IDs that are created are a no-no, why not have jqgrid insert underscores when it creates the IDs?

Hello,

I posted the answer on your question here. The usage of ids having blanks in <th> elements is the same as the usage of name and index properties of colModel with the blanks inside. It is wrong. Just remove the ids from <th> elements or use the values without blanks.

I'm using the tableToGrid feature, along with the viewGridRow feature. When the viewGridRow method is called, the dialog displays correctly. But when paging through records using the Pager Buttons, OR when you close the dialog and execute the viewGridRow method on another record, the values for all columns whose names have a space (" ") in them do not get updated. They keep the value that was placed there by the first viewGridRow execution. The values for all columns whose names do NOT have a space get updated as they should.

I've tried recreateForm:true (although this is a property of the editGridRow method, and not the viewGridRow method), and this did not resolve the issue. Also tried various, semi-random combinations of other settings.

Below is my code. Ideas?

tableToGrid("#mytable", height:'400',

ondblClickRow: function(rowid,iRow,iCol,e) {

jQuery("#mytable").viewGridRow(rowid, {closeOnEscape:true});

}

});
