Actually turned out to be a bug in my code, I was using the same array for colNames and colModel[i].name by accident. I can confirm that it is possible to have white spaces in the column name that get displayed on the web-page; I guess I did not make that distinction clear in my previous post. My mistake.

Space is not allowed id “character”. The name is used as a base for the id of the inputs

P.S More over it can not be used as a name attribute when we post values.

this is a bug report or feature-request depending how you look at it.

I am using version 3.6 beta. I have column names that may have more than one word. Trying to set up cell inline editing, that is giving problems with datepicker or more ordinary free text or combo boxes.

For example in the case of the datepicker, after clicking on the cell the input element opens fine and so does the calendar widget. However any action on the calendar results in an uncaught exception. With other ordinary inputs you can change the text/option etc. without problems. Nevertheless once you are done and the cell is "saved", it apears empty.

Now, it turns out that the associated input element receives as the id attribute something like: <rownumber>_<column name>. This id is later use in jquery as a selector unquoted thus spaces in the column name (thus in the id) are not going to work. As a workaround I have removed spaces between words in column names and the problems was solved.

Would it be possible to take into account column names with spaces in the final 3.6 version and beyond.

Best regards,

V.
