1. What you understand as "normal edit"?

2. Could you please look here:

3. It is not a job of jqGrid to analyze your server side code - we just post data and if this data is accepted server side it will work if not it will not work.

i didn't think the question was unreasonable. can anyone answer it? it's taken 5 days to reach this stage and still no answer. thanks

Guess what i asking is, if normal edit works should celledit work using the same file or do i have to code something different? thanks

why does my edit.php not work in celledit but works with normal edit?

I can't tell you why - all what you need to do is to check what is passed and what is accepted server side.

However, i am confused by your reply? if you look at my original post, you will see that i am using my own edit.php file which is working fine when i use it to edit entries based on checkbox selection, it edits fine. i am using that same file which has all the required db entries etc. do i need to use a different code in celledit than in edit? why does my edit.php not work in celledit but works with normal edit?

many thanks

How look your edit.php - here you should apply your own php code to update the cell. The demo does not do this for security reasons.

I am confused as to why my celledit is not working. ordinary edit works ok, but with celledit, when i amend an entry, it changes the entry in the grid, but when i reload the page, it reloads the old data. i am using the same edit.php page that does the ordinary edit. i have included the code below, but still no difference. if someone could help i would be grateful. many thanks.
