If you set closeAfterEdit to false (from your example) the dialog will not close after post. If you set it to true the will close if there is no error - in case that afterSubmit check this.

The first parameter in afterSubmit should be true and not number (int) as per your example.

The error information apper at top and not at bottom.

Here's my grid so far:

    $("#list").jqGrid({
        url:'data.php',
        datatype: "json",
        mtype: "POST",
        colNames:[...],
        colModel:[...],
        editurl:"data_edit.php"
    });
    $("#editdata").click(function(){
        var id = jQuery("#list").jqGrid('getGridParam','selrow');
        var options = {
            bottominfo: "",
            modal: true,reloadAfterSubmit:true, closeOnEscape:true,closeAfterEdit:false,
            afterSubmit: function(response,postdata){ return GetResponseData(response); }
        };
        if(id != null ) jQuery("#list").jqGrid('editGridRow',id,options);
        else alert("Please Select Row");
    });
    function GetResponseData (resp) {
        var json=resp.responseText;  //format is {errno:(int),errmsg:"",query:""}
        var result=eval("("+json+")");
        return [result.errno,result.error,""];
    }

I know that the value of the array returned from the 'afterSubmit' event needs to be the assigned to 'bottominfo' property, something along the lines of:

    var z = ???; // array sent from afterSubmit
    $('.bottominfo').text("ERROR [" + z.errno + "] " + z.errmsg);

but I can't fingure out where this needs to go.

Another problem I've just realized is that there is no 'bottominfo' property associated with the 'delGridRow' method.  I suppose I could overwrite the table row which has the 'delmsg' class, which takes us right back to the problem of accessing the 'afterSubmit' array.

HELP!!!

Thanks,
Mitch
