Within the navGrid, I added "editData:{id:value}" in the add, edit options.

Your solution helped me very much.

Do you think that there's a similar solution for the 'editurl'?

Thanks again,

John

Because you use HTTP GET for requests to the server and you want append the url with additional parameter "id=123" you can do this without modification of url. Just use postData option of jqGrid

postData: {id: 123}

or

postData: {id: myId}

where myId is a var which has the value which you need (like 123).

You can also use functions as a value of some postData properties like

postData: {id: function() {
        if (jQuery("#onlyMySw").is(':checked')) {
            return 123;
        } else {
            return 456;
        }
    }
}

The last approach has a large advantage, because the function will be called every time during grid refresh (for example, in case of choose new sort order or switching between pages and so on. In the example above the url will be appended with parameter id=123 if checkbox with id="onlyMySw" is checked and with id=456 if it is not checked.

To read more about the last approach see my answer on the stackoverflow.com.

I have a grid that works fairly well.  Now, I wish to have a dynamic url.

For example,

http:www.mysite.com/getgame.php?id=123

This will change based on the id.

Within the grid, I have the 'url' set to the page name (getgame.php)

[CODE]

jQuery("#contacts").jqGrid({
    url:"getgame.php",
    datatype: 'json',
    colNames:['Contact No','Last Name', 'First Name', 'Type','Email','Phone', 'Fax', 'Note'],
    colModel :[
      {name:'member_contacts_id',
           index:'member_contacts_id',
           width:100,
           hidden:true,
           editable:false,
           editoptions:{
               readonly:true,
               size:10
           }
       },
      {name:'last', index:'last', width:120, align:'right', editable:true,editoptions:{size:30}},
      {name:'first', index:'first', width:120, align:'right', editable:true,editoptions:{size:30}},
      {name:'type',
               index:'type',
               width:70,
            hidden:true,
            editable: true,
            edittype:"select",
            editoptions:
            {
                value:"Coach:Coach;Trainer:Trainer;Referee:Referee"
            },
            editrules:{edithidden:true}
      },
      {name:'email', index:'email', width:200, align:'right', editable:true,editoptions:{size:30}},
      {name:'phone', index:'phone', width:110, align:'right', editable:true,editoptions:{size:30}},
      {name:'fax', index:'fax', width:110, align:'right', editable:true,editoptions:{size:30}},
      {name:'note',
             index:'note',
             width:100,
             sortable:false,
             hidden:true,
             editable: true,
             edittype:"textarea",
             editoptions:{rows:"5",cols:"30"},
            editrules:{edithidden:true}
      }
    ],
    pager: '#pager',
    rowNum:10,
    rowList:[10,20,30],
    sortname: 'member_contacts_id',
    sortorder: 'asc',
    viewrecords: true,
    caption: 'Contacts',
    height:"100%",
    editurl:"_editContacts.php'",
    
    grouping: true,
       groupingView : {
           groupField : ['type'],
           groupColumnShow : [false],
           groupText : ['<b>{0} - {1} Contact(s)</b>'],
           groupCollapse : true,
        groupOrder: ['asc'],
        groupDataSorted : true
       }
  });

[\CODE]

How do I set and pass the id number that will change?

Thank you for any help with this.

John
