The problem is inyour ajaxrowoptions. Try as simple as possible code (do not use any other option) and see where the problem is.

 

Regards

Another problem which happens when i replace restorerow to saverow that the last row still remains editable so as i keep clicking the rows they all get editable. I just needed one row to be editable at a time.

You help is much appreciated!

 

As far as I understand the question the enter can not be changed. It can be disabled, but not changed with other key - see docs.

As for the second problem replace restoreRow with save row in onSelect row

 

if (id && id !== lastSel) {
                    $("#Northwinds").restoreRow(lastSel);

....

 

to

if (id && id !== lastSel) {
                     $("#Northwinds").saveRow(lastSel);

I'm new to JQGrid need help with changing the save option to control enter instead of Enter. Also my other issue is regarding fetching saved row when i click on another row after edit as it always showing data prior to update (Update is working successfully). I'm attaching code here for reference. Thanks for all your valuable feedback's :-

function buildgrid() {
        var grid = jQuery("#Northwinds");
