Hello,

saveCell saves the current edited cell. If you try to save some cell dynamically you can use getCell method - something like

$("#mybutton").click(function(){

var rowid = $("mygrid").getGridParam('selrow'); //get the id of the current selected row. Can be a other thing.

var myceldata = $("mygrid").getCell(rowid,myiCol);

$.ajax({...}); //post your data here

});

I am trying to edit any cell in one of two ways. 1 - click on it to enter into cell edit mode where an input box allows me to enter data or 2 - click in it and a value is automatically entered. In either case, the action had changed other cells and these have to be saved as well.

If I setup the grid to allow cell editing with the cellEdit: true option the first method works and saves the cell value to remote as expected when an editable cell is modified. Although, only id:(iRow) is sent.

There seems to be no way to enguage the after cell edit save process when the cell is modified programmatically.

To edit a cell programmatically, code is enguage as a response to onSelectCell which does fire on a non editable cell when cellEdit is set to true. However, it appears that saveCell(iRow, iCol) used after the appropriate cell(s) are modified will not post.

As a test, saveCell was called from a button with a row and column id specified. It does not post to the server weather the cell is editable or not.

either jQuery(#gridid).saveCell(17,6); or jQuery(#gridid).saveCell(”17″,”6″); does not work.

saveCell is defined in the documentaion as “saves the cell with the row index iRow( do not mix with rowid) in index column iCol”

related grid options as follows:

cellEdit: true,

cellsubmit: 'remote',

cellurl: “updatecell.aspx”,

Should saveCell(rowid, iCol) save the content of any cell by sending a post to the server at any time?

If so what are the conditions that will allow saveCell to function as intended.

What should be included in the POST?
