jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid - Topic: Select field and large datasets http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/feature-request/select-field-and-large-datasets Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 greg.neid on Select field and large datasets http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/feature-request/select-field-and-large-datasets#p30332 Feature Request http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/feature-request/select-field-and-large-datasets#p30332 Hi Tony,

I have used jqGrid extensively.  I work with master detail grids every day.   To me the only thing that is missing is a way to enter a single field into a table from a large dataset, that is a dataset that is too large to exist in a select drop down.  For this autocomplete "almost" works.  Usually you want to identify the field with the description, but store the key.  Autocomplete does not work this way.

What I really want is a select with an external combobox selected drop down.  I have not been able to find one, and I am not yet skilled enough to write one.

Thanks for replying, I hope my request triggers something for you.

This would significantly extend jqGrid and allow for user selected "drop downs" based on user input. 

I have searched for an autocomplete wrapper that will do this and been unsuccessful in that search.
