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

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

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

Thanks for you rapid reply.  As a new user to JqGrid, I have spent many hours in the documentation, learning the many complexities of the jqGrid to take advatage of is extreme usefulness.  However, I have to apologize but I am still learning the terminology, syntax, and usage of the many features.   I did read the entry on getRowData, and even now, do not understand how to use it as you describe.  I was hoping you or someone in the user community would have an example I could study to better understand its use. 

Thanks again for you time and effort.

Curious to learn about this as well.

Thanks!
