If you dynamically load this the option does not have sense, since the element is already created and you fill data in already created element from jqGrid. You should this manually whitin the request.

            }).navGrid("#"+pager_id,
                {edit:false,search:false},
                {},
                {height:160,
                 mtype:'POST',
                 addCaption:'Add Link to People',
                    beforeShowForm:function(formid){
                        $.ajax({
                            url:".assets/admin_people_tbl.php?oper=selpplsel",
                            datatype:"script",
                            mtype:"POST",
                            success:function(response) {
                                $('#username',formid).children().remove().end().html(response);
                            }
                        })
                    },

so, in createEl, so.length always gets returned as 1, and Math.min(options.size,so.length) sets the size to 1.

Maybe I'll hardcode an options list to see if the behavior changes - I'm better so.length would return the expected value and the size parameter would be honored (or so.length...whichever was smaller).

Thanks,

Adam

The size options work for me. Maybe you set is as string. Try as number.

I can hack grid.common.js (line 236 in the 3.5A2 release) replacing:

size:Math.min(options.size,so.length)

- with -

size:options.size

but this defeats the feature of dynamically sized multi-selects when the options list is shorter than the defined size parameter.

What I notice is that so.length is always returned as 1.  My guess is that this is "as expected" under the circumstance since createEl doesn't know how many options exist until well after the actual form is rendered.  Does that sound about right?

I did this instead, which still seems clumsy, but if the answer to the question above is "yes", then I can't really think of a more elegant way to handle this outside of maybe an afterShowForm $('#field').attr('size',#) which still defeats the dynamic resize that I think was intended.

                    var so = options.value.split(";"),sv, ov;
//begin: multi-select hack for setting field length with dynamic options
//       in colModel editoptions, include 'fixedsize:#' param.
                    if(options.fixedsize) {
                        size = options.fixedsize;
                    } else {
                        size = Math.min(options.size,so.length);
                    }
//                    jQuery(elem).attr({id:options.id,name:options.name,size:Math.min(options.size,so.length) });
                    jQuery(elem).attr({id:options.id,name:options.name,size:size });
//end: multi-select hack for setting field length with dynamic options
                    for(var i=0; i<so.length;i++){

Thanks for any feedback, especially if I'm totally off-base and have just missed something simple,

Adam
