hollow on help in selecting a select option in form editing mode

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:36:03 +0200

Really weird, everything is working ok now. I can't figure out why though. I played a bit with the columns in the sql select statement (there were a couple of ids with the same name, from several tables, which I really didn't need). Maybe the php code which sent the xml to the grid, confused somehow these columns and I had some incosistent data.

Thank you!

Hello,

In my grid, among other columns, I have a student_id and student column, with the following config:

name: 'student_id',
                            index: 'student_id',
                            hidden:true,
                            editable:true,
                            editoptions:{
                                hidden:true
                            }

name: 'student',
                            index: 'student',
                            width: 150,
                            align: 'right',
                            editable: true,
                            edittype:"select",
                            editoptions: {
                                dataUrl:"note/get_students_in_class"
                            },
                            editrules:{
                                integer:true,
                                minValue:0
                            }

When I choose to edit a student, it loads student_id as a hidden input and the the students in a select input. What I would like to do, is select the student I'm about to edit. For this, I write:

afterShowForm:function(frmid){
                            var student_id = $("#student_id").val();
                            $("#student").val(student_id);
                        }

For the first edit, it doesn't work (it doesn't select anything), but for subsequent edits it works fine. This might be because the first time it has to create the edit form. I also tried the events: beforeShowForm, but my intention was to delay as much as possible this code, so as to load the form.

Any suggestions? Thank you!
