Hi, thanks for the reply.

I admit I am no cross-browser expert, but colgroup seemed to work ok for just setting the style without fancy stuff like spanning multiple columns etc.

That said I am not particularly attached to colgroups, what I really need is the ability to set style for specific columns, and in particular for the first and the last. Would you consider adding that, even in a different way like setting the class on every cell?

Hello,

Thanks for this.

To be a honest setting colgroup is a little bit difficult. The problem is not that I can not do this. The problem is that colgroup have diffrent behaviours on diffrent browsers (espacially in FireFox, Safari and Chrome).

Best Regards

Tony

Sorry, I am not very used to forums, so I made some errors in the above post and I ended up cut and pasting the wrong version of the patch instead of the one of the version I am testing... some notes:

1) in the patch var cgc = ts.p.colModel[i].name should be ts.p.colModel[i].colclass

2) I added a ui-column class to each column... this was more of a test, not sure it is useful

3) It is probably good to always add special css classes to the first and last column, since they are useful to customize css borders

Hi, I'd like to have some per-column css classes to customize the look of some columns (in particular the first and last column, but there are also other usecases)

Would it be possible to make jqgrid emit <colgroup> tags and let the user specify css classes on it?

I gave it a try and came up with something like this patch, but I am not sure if it is the best way to do it...

diff --git a/js/grid.base.js b/js/grid.base.js
index 5074e7c..95ed716 100644
--- a/js/grid.base.js
+++ b/js/grid.base.js

if(ts.p.scroll===true){
ts.p.pgbuttons = false; ts.p.pginput=false; ts.p.rowList=[];
}
+ for(i=0;i<this.p.colNames.length;i++){
+ var cgc = ts.p.colModel[i].name;
+ var colgrp = "<colgroup span='1' class='ui-column "+cgc+"'/>";

+ $(this).append(colgrp);
+ }
var thead = "<thead><tr class='ui-jqgrid-labels' role='rowheader'>",
tdc, idn, w, res, sort,
td, ptr, tbody, imgs,iac="",idc="";

then you can specify the colclass css class in the colmodel:

    colModel:[
        {name:'id',index:'id',xmlmap:"id",colclass:"first",resizable:false},
        {name:'owner',index:'owner',xmlmap:"owner",resizable:false},
        {name:'status',index:'status',xmlmap:"status",resizable:false},
        {name:'name', index:'name',xmlmap:"name",colclass:"last",resizable:false}
    ],
