Thank you for the response!

If you only have Text in the Grid, then we should be comparing Text against Text and not Text against Value.

However, I think in the grid, the displayed items are whatever I return in the SQL. So....for a Select in a Form, it should be comparing against the Value I put in the Select and not against the Text. Anyway...my code above works for me. If you decide to not change your code, then I can always just make the change everytime I download a new version.

It just doesn't seem logical to me.

Hello,

We compare the values betwen the grid and those in form select. In grid we always have Text and not Values.

I figured out that you are comparing the Text instead of the value.

My understanding of a Select is that you should be comparing against the value - the text part is only for display purposes. Also...I do receive the correct value back for updates etc...so you must be returning the value part of the select statement there.

I am sure you have a reason for doing the comparison against the text, but I fixed my problem by changing this in grid.formedit.js - code starts at line 378

                                                case "select-one":
                                                        postdata[this.name]= $("option:selected",this).val();
                                                        extpost[this.name]= $("option:selected",this).val();
// original code                                  extpost[this.name]= $("option:selected",this).text();
                                                break;

By the way...it would be super cool to at least get some acknowldgement that you have read this, even if I am wrong....I have yet to receive any response on any of my posts from you. Glad I haven't bought the PHP addon.

Hi,

If I have a database field that is a enum("Y","N") field. If I leave the edittype as a text field, then I can use the Nav buttons to go to the next and previous records in a modal form without any problem.

However, if I use a edittype as a select, then the Nav buttons cause the "Data has changed" to popup even when I haven't changed anything. The correct information is displayed in both cases.

So....this works (the "Data changed" does NOT popup):

{name:'author', index:'author', width:50, align:'center', editable:true, edittype:'text'}

This does not work (the "Data changed" DOES popup):

{name:'author', index:'author', width:50, align:'center', editable:true, edittype:'select', editoptions:{value:{Y:'Yes',N:'No'}}}

Thanks,

Jim
