Thanks! Maggie

The form has a id formid, everey field in this form has a id equal to the name from colModel. So in you case it can look like

onInitializeForm : function (formid) {

$("#invid",formid).css({your style here - background and so on});

}

I figured out how to call onInitializeForm, but I don't know the syntax to set the needed color for a field such as invid on the edit form. Where can I find an example from the documentation?

Thanks!

Maggie

There is documentation. From this site Click on Documentation and then

jqGrid->Form Editing->Edit Row - look at events there is example.

In your case

jQuery(”#editgrid”).editGridRow(gr,

{width: 400,

height:280,

modal:false,

reloadAfterSubmit:false,

onInitializeForm : function (formid) {

// your code goes here

}

});

I use IE.

I can't find the syntax of using onInitialzeForm on the documentation. Could someone  please give me an example? Here is my code for editGridrow. Where should I add onInitialzeForm? what are the parameters?

$("#bedata").click(function(){
  var gr = jQuery("#editgrid").getGridParam('selrow');
 if( gr != null ) {
  jQuery("#editgrid").editGridRow(gr,{width: 400, height:280, modal:false, reloadAfterSubmit:false});
 }
 else alert("Please Select Row");
});

 Thanks, Maggie

This is the right way. If you use FireFox this field is grey. If you use IE this is not gray. It is browser depended. To force this programatically you can use onInitialzeForm to set the needed color for that field.

It is great that some fields such as inv no can be set up as not editable on the edit form. But I can't figure out how to grey it out (eg. set the backgroud as grey so that it is obvious that it is not editable). Is that doable?

These are the codes that I set up for not editable form:

colModel :[ {name:'invid', index:'invid', width:60, editable:true,editoptions:{readonly:true,size:10}},  

Thanks!
