is there any way to attach and fire a custom function on multiple records like delGridRow. Basically I want to activate or de-activate a set of selected users. SO right now ,i can get the list of selected row id's and am passing them to a customised delGridRow(which is not right). So what I have now is :

function funcDelUsers()

function funcActivateUsers()

function funcDectivateUsers()

and all of then are using the following piece of code with different values for caption,msg,bSubmit, url

var gr = jQuery("#usersList").jqGrid('getGridParam','selarrrow');

if( gr.length > 0 ) {

  jQuery("#usersList").jqGrid('delGridRow',gr,{

  reloadAfterSubmit: true,

                   caption: 'Activate users?',      //note – caption is not changing according to task

                     mtype: 'post',

                        msg: 'Do you want to activate the selected users?',  // msg is not changing according to function, is fixed to the value set  in the function which is activated first

                           url: is different in different functions

……………………………………………..

So,instead of trying my way around delGridRow and try to customize it forother tasks , there should be basically two ways to 

proceed and do the task cleanly.

1. attach a custom function to the jqgrid and cal it on the selected rows(do it the jqgrid way)

       jQuery("#usersList").jqGrid('my_custom_function',gr,options};

      my_custom_function perhaps does nothing,but it lets me access the jqgrid options,methods,events 

      Basically i should ave access to jqgrid options,methods,events  inside the function and let jqgrid do the work with those options

2. get the row id,s  by jQuery("#usersList").jqGrid('getGridParam','selarrrow') , write your own custom ajax code  for activating/ deactivating     the users by passing the id's to the server. reload the grid once we get response from the server.

I was wondering if there is any way to do it via way 1. It would be wonderful if you have any ideas to help me out.

Thank you.
