Oleg,

thank you.

Password column is used for two purposes:

1. It allows to verify the presence of password for specific user
2. It allows to chnage password using inline edit.

I was able to add password formatter using

jQuery.extend($.fn.fmatter , {
password : function(cellvalue, options, rowdata) {
return "click to change";
}
});

so this issue is solved. Thank you very much for your hard work on jqGrid.

Andrus.

After I read the post I verivied in both documantation and the source code, but didn't found the formatter:'password'. So everything is clear. The formatter:'password' do not much more as formatter:'blablabla'. Both do nothing because both not exist. To tell the trust I don't understand which sence has to have a column having only *** inside. In the case is much better don't have it at all or don't display such column (with respect of hidden:true property). I would prefer not have such column at all.

Best regards
Oleg

I tried to use formatter:password but password characters are still displayed as open text on grid column.
How to hide password characters if password is displayed in grid column ?

colModel: [{ "name":"Password","fixed":true,
"editable":true,
"width":50,
"formatter":"password",
"edittype":"password"
}]
