jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

I'll try to explain again in a little more detail as my previous response doenst actually cover everything.

I have a grid that is generated from a table that for example looks like this (simplified a lot):

id: Integer which is a foreign key

name: varchar

When I declare the grid, the id is not editable, I do not want it to be changed for any existing rows.

When the user wants to add a new row I need to do two things...

1) Id needs to be present in the edit form which it isnt, presumably as the field it not editable in the main grid

2) There might only be one id in the grid, but the user must be able to select from all of the id's in the foreign table, so I guess I need to do another lookup on the foreign table?

Im just not sure how to achieve this, I can't be the only person to have needed to do this so I am guessing it's possible but my lack of knowledge is the problem here.

Sorted, my bad. editable: true in the wrong place

This has of course left me with a few more questions.

1)  The wiki says an error message will be displayed when editrules are set and broken. Im just getting an exception thrown:

jQuery.jqgrid.edit is undefined

Do I need to put a callback in there somewhere?

2) Is it possible to use multiselect with inline editing in such a way that clicking the check box would not enable the input fields in the grid? I mean, only change to the input fields if the user clicks one of the other cells?

Hello,

Did you mean

jQuery.jgrid.edit or jQuery.jqgrid.edit – there is a difference

2. I think yes this is possible

Hi Tony,

Yes, the error was indeed jQuery.jgrid.edit is undefined, sorry for the typo.

Also, I worked around number 2. Basically  by getting the selected rows and calling restoreRow on each of them before calling getRowData. If you know of a better way to handle this I am interested in it.
