jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi All,

Does anyone know if its possible to add a custom parameter for a column used primarily for searching against?

Reason I ask is that I wish to indicate the data type of a particular column and have that passed through to the server when searching so that I can interrogate the parameter and adjust my search routine accordingly, in this case to treat the parameter as an Integer and not a String.

My server code is Java based using hibernate criteria to do the search, and just using a string is a problem.

I know I could interrogate the field name and do it that way but if I could pass through the parameter I could keep my search routine generic.

Thanks
