Hello,

Which version do you use? Also in 3.5 this should work in inline edit.

Regards

Tony

I just have about same problem,

if i set

     { name:'memberListID',
      index:'memberListID',
      width:30,
      hidden:true,
      editable: true,}

the field is hidden in td its seems to be fine

but inline edit saveRow does not process hidden fields and these are not submitted to server.

i suppose it should be added to

                        case 'text':
                        case 'password':
                        case 'textarea':
                        case "button" :
                        case 'hidden' :
                            tmp[nm]= !$t.p.autoencode ? $("input, textarea",this).val() : $.jgrid.htmlEncode($("input, textarea",this).val());
                            break;

thanks mark - that works - the problem was that I was using formatoptions: { rowpos: x } property - as it happens one of these (a rowpos) needs to be assigned to ALL fields even if they are not displayed on the form

I think the way it works is that

- only editable fields go onto the form

- the field is visible if its not hidden, or its marked as edithidden.

So I believe you want:

{

      name:'memberListID',
      index:'memberListID',
      width:30,
      hidden:true,
     editable: true
}

Is this a bug?

The wiki docs say “Hidden fields are included in the form with the display:none property of the table row“

The column array is:

     { name:'memberListID',
      index:'memberListID',
      width:30,
      hidden:true
     },

Of course, if I do this:

     { name:'memberListID',
      index:'memberListID',
      width:30,
      hidden:true,
     editable: true,
     editrules: {  edithidden:true },
     },

… then the field IS copied to the form. But this field is a foreign key and is not editable and I don't want it to display as “disabled” or “readonly” - I just want it to be a hidden field on the form – that would be good.

I interpret the docs to indicate that this field (as defined in the first example) should be copied to the form and then its row is hidden (i.e. display:none ) – this would work for me too as long as the contents of an input that is in a hidden row is sent to the server.

I have some workarounds I can do but I want to see if the jqgrid can handle it for me.

thanks!
