jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi,

I've got a grid in edticell mode (using version 3.5) and when it loads I have the top row autoselected - doing that in the

loadComplete event.

var selRow = jQuery("#grid").getGridParam('selrow');
var recNum = jQuery("#grid").getGridParam('reccount');

if (selRow == null && recNum > 0) {
     jQuery("#grid").editCell(0, 0);
}

That works fine - highlights the first row for me and enables keyboard navigation on the cells. Now I'd also like to make the first cell be selected, or even have it go to edit mode.

Currently when I load the grid with the above code I can then press the left arrow to select the first cell, and then enter to go into edit mode. Can I somehow pass those keypresses in automatically through code?

I have tried:

jQuery("#grid").trigger("keypress", [13]);

But that does not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jo
