I am using jqgrid grouping for my grid.

My grid has a custom textbox inside the jqgrid. whenever the user changes the number in the grid, I want to update the group header. Now I have custom text which will calculate the total.

For example

It looks like this

Total Score: 5

     Messi        4

     Robben      1

The numbers 4 and 1 are in a textbox.

If the user updates 4 to 3, the total score should change to 4 because (Messi - 3, Robben - 1)

The way I am doing now is I update the griddata and reload the grid each time someone changes the text in a textbox.

But since I have lot of data, when each value changes in the textbox I cannot reload the grid each time. It takes 3 to 4 seconds. I am thinking of a solution where I can get the id of the Grouping header row (In this case the Id of "Total Score:5" row). Instead of reloading the entire grid i want to specify something like this $("#headerrow").text(4).

 

Thanks.
