Yet the editRow call goes to the 4th row as it should after the row is added.

var emptyItem=[{"rowid":"tableIdField", "act": "", "action":"1", "nfirsCode":"2", "description":"3", "agencyId":"4", "tableName":"5", "tableIdName":"6", "tableIdField":"7" ,"timestamp":"8"}];

var thisRowId = $.jgrid.randId();

$("#" + childGrid + "").addRowData(thisRowId, emptyItem, "before", "4");
$("#" + childGrid + "").jqGrid('editRow',4,true);

And I have looked at the documentation until I was glossy eyed and still can't figure it out.

Oh and by the way the reason behind this portion of the code.... $("#" + childGrid + ""). is that I dynamically create the grids based on an action from another grid on the same page.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
