First option seems to work.

I'll check the other tomorrow. Thanks again!

Thanks Mark will try the recreate form. Got it set but not on the edit parameter of the edit button (pencil);

Otherwise, I don't know if i could set that parameter in my php jGrid class. Will give it a shot!

Looks like if you set "recreateForm:true" in the editGridRow options, you'll always get access to this.gbox.

Also, you can always give your serialize function the name of the grid (or even the grid object) via a closure:

myGrid.jqGrid("navGrid", ..., { ...

serializeEditData : (function(grid) { return function(postdata) {

// do something with postdata and grid

} })(myGrid),

...} ...);

Yes, its an ugly hack

When submitting a record to the server, the serializeEditData function is called properly and "this" contains the gbox variable containing the value "#gbox_theIdofthegrid". After editing another record (the form edit is reopened) and the submit button is pressed, the serializeEditData function is called properly BUT "this" doesn't contain the gbox variable.

Why so important? It is the ONLY way I've found,to this date, to know which grid i'm working with. When data is submitted to the server, I absolutely need to know from which grid/table.

I strongly believe, if there are no other way to know the grid id, that the grid itself should be passed to every event custom function. If not possible, at least the id should be provided so the grid could be called.

If no fix possible, can anybody provide a solution to get to the jgrid?

Thanks!
