I am not sure what the issue was.  I spent even more time fiddling with it because I'd rather be running the latest version of jqGrid. I am not sure if it was due to the MyEclipse IDE or Tomcat or just some funky glitch but I ended up deleting the stylesheet and script folders and then replacing them with what I thought were exact copies and then it started to work.

No real explaination (yet).  If I run across it again I'll see if I can figure it out.  But, for now, this is a non-issue.  All seems to be running OK at the 3.5.2 level.

I did change my code to match what you posted and everything is still working OK.

Thanks,

Pete

Could you please try this way:

... editoptins:{value:{"":"Select","Y":"Yes","N":"No"}}

direct in the colModel

Back to the drawing board.  Any other recommendations?

The REAL weirdness is that I built a local source of data (rather than used json) and cut and pasted the code into a new directory with a fresh copy of jqgrid so that it looked like this:

<script type="text/javascript">

// Load grid information
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var colYesNo = {"value":{"Y":"Yes","N":"No"}};
var lastsel2;
var jsonURL = '${.data_model.requestURI}?action=AjaxGetEmployeeProgramOptions&empid='+ $('#emplist').val();

$('#empProgramOpts').jqGrid({
   url: jsonURL,
  datatype: "local",
  height: 250,
  colNames:['Program','Allow','Program Description'],
  colModel:[
   {name:'optionName',index:'optionName', width:200 },
   {name:'optionDefault',index:'optionDefault', width:60, editable:true, edittype:'select', formatter:'select', editoptions:colYesNo},
   {name:'optionDescription',index:'optionDescription', width:500 }
   ],
    rowNum:10,
  rowList:[10,20,30],
  pager: $('#empProgramOptspager'),
  sortname: 'optionName',
  sortorder: "desc",
       onSelectRow: function(id){
        $('#empProgramOpts').saveRow(id);
       $('#empProgramOpts').editRow(id,true);
       },
  jsonReader: {repeatitems: false},
  caption: "Maintain Program Options"
  });
 
var data = [
{"optionDefault":"N","optionDescription":"Allowed to Verify Absences","optionName":"VERIFY"},
{"optionDefault":"N","optionDescription":"Allowed to Post to the Intermediate file","optionName":"POSTINT"},
{"optionDefault":"N","optionDescription":"Allowed to Post to the Payroll File","optionName":"POSTPAYROLL"},
{"optionDefault":"N","optionDescription":"Allowed to Enter Substitutes for Absences","optionName":"SUBS"},
{"optionDefault":"Y","optionDescription":"Allowed to Use the Wizard to Create the Absences","optionName":"WIZARD"},
{"optionDefault":"N","optionDescription":"Allowed to use the Full Interactive Edit to add absences","optionName":"FULLEDIT"},
{"optionDefault":"Y","optionDescription":"Allowed to view Absence History","optionName":"ABSHISTORY"},
{"optionDefault":"Y","optionDescription":"Allowed to view unposted absences","optionName":"UNPOSTED"},
{"optionDefault":"Y","optionDescription":"Allowed to run reports","optionName":"REPORTS"}
];

for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
jQuery("#empProgramOpts").addRowData(data[i].id,data[i]);

});

</script>

And that WORKS in jqGrid 3.5.2  even without your additions.  Must be something to do with the json data, one way or another.

Thanks!  I can move forward again.  I'll read up on the use of those fields.

I think you have missed the following fields in the configuration of the grid :

            cellEdit: true,
            cellsubmit: 'clientArray'

I looked at the upgrade information in the wiki and didn't see anything about this issue.  Here is the code (FWIW):

// Load grid information

function loadProgramOptions(){
var colYesNo = {"value":{"":"Select","Y":"Yes","N":"No"}};
var jsonURL = '${.data_model.requestURI}?action=AjaxGetEmployeeProgramOptions&empid='+ $('#emplist').val();

$('#empProgramOpts').jqGrid({
   url: jsonURL,
  datatype: 'json',
  height: 250,
  colNames:['Program','Allow','Program Description'],
  colModel:[
   {name:'optionName',index:'optionName', width:200 },
   {name:'optionDefault',index:'optionDefault', width:60, editable:true, edittype:'select', formatter:'select', editoptions:colYesNo},
   {name:'optionDescription',index:'optionDescription', width:500 }
   ],
    rowNum:10,
  rowList:[10,20,30],
  pager: $('#empProgramOptspager'),
  sortname: 'optionName',
  sortorder: "desc",
       onSelectRow: function(id){
               $('#empProgramOpts').editRow(id,true);
       },
  jsonReader: {repeatitems: false},
  caption: "Maintain Program Options"
  });
 
}

What did I miss when I upgraded to 3.5?  Something simple I am sure!  This all works in 3.4.4
