It may be the wrong way to implement it but that is what I did. 

Where you call these event?

What I need is an example of where the *cell* has been edited (or something close to a row by row, cell by cell edit).  If I add the following to my grid constructor:

    formatCell:function(rowid,cellname,value,irow,icol){
            alert("Format!");
    },   
    beforeEditCell:function(rowid,cellname,value,irow,icol){
            alert("Before Edit!");
    },

But these even never seem to trigger.  If I can find an event that is triggered by an individual cell being edited in an inline edit, I think I can hook up the logic I need

Check the demo. There is such example.

P.S. The first that I will do is to put alert before the if statement

So there is no way to capture an event that fires when the cell contents change in 3.4.4?  I'll have to look into it more closely.  Maybe I can modify the existing code to trigger an event when the data in the cell changes.

If I remember, the two events I mentionned are only triggered when the field value is modified (I use jqGrid 3.5 and the events are correctly fired). And no, I don't see any other solution... sorry 🙁

Just a point : the code you mentionned is your real code ? If it is, it seems that you should call setCell from the grid object, like $('#mygrid').setCell

That did not work.  Let me give you a bit more information, perhaps I didn't explain enough of what I am doing.

I am using jqGrid 3.4.4 and I am using inline editing.  As I change the contents of one cell (depending upon it's name) I want to change the contents of another cell.

I added the afterSaveCell like so:

    afterSaveCell:function(id,cellName,data,iRow,iCol){
        if(cellName=='code')
            setCell(id,'description','New Cell Description');
    },

I can see the afterSaveCell event is triggered as the grid is created and populated, but if I then edit the contents of the cell and click into another cell, the afterSaveCell event isn't triggered.  Really, what I want is an 'onCellChange' event that triggered whenever the cell contents change.

Thanks for your help.  Can you see any other way to do this?

The wiki contains the order in which events are triggered

Psuedo code would be something like:

On cellValueChange(cell)

     update cell # 2 contents

I took a look at afterEditCell but it doesn't seem to trigger when the cell contents changes.  What event should I look at?

Thanks
