I actually just asked about this before I seen your post.. Sorry for the double post then 🙂

Curious to learn about this as well.

Thanks!

Hello,

As I say again and again – Did you have consult the documentation?

So the answer is in the docs

http://www.trirand.com/jqgridw.....ki:methods

What about using the method

getRowData

Let's  look what the docs say

Returns an array with data of the requested id = rowid. The returned array is of type name:value, where the name is a name from colModel and the value from the associated column in that row. It returns an empty array if the rowid can not be found.
Do not use this method when you editing the row or cell. This will return the cell content and not the actuall value of the input element
If the rowid is not set the method return all the data from the grid in array

Using the last expresion from the docs you will have a aray with all the data.

After that you can convert the array to what you want and post it to the server

Best Regards

Tony

Thanks for pointing this out.  So, the takeaway I have is that "no, there is no preconfigured parameter that accounts for this behavior".  This is helpful so we don't re-invent your code so please don't take offense. 

I was thinking this behavoir most of us in this thread are looking for could be accomplished, conceptually, this way:

1. Add a dataevent, may type "change" to a column model, set a callback to fire whenever anything changes / goes out of focus.
2. The callback will update an array that could be serialized to JSON or multi-dimensional post data later
3. Use setCell to update the grid view from the input value and change the style of the row
4. User submits changes to server via data set from step 2
5. Hopefully row styles reset to default upon grid render, or else write a method to reset them after submit and before render

A great example of this behavior is how the MySQL Query Browser works.  When you are editing result-sets from it's grid, the rows background changes so you can edit multiple rows before submitting them for update.  Many other RDBMS tools mimic this behavior and is almost standard as far as how grids work in non-web applications.  I'm not complaining but it would be a nice feature to have in future releases.  If I end up writing this case, I'll send you a literal example.

Thanks for maintaining this project
