I want to use a jqgrid in a form to select one or more items from a potentially extensive list. A multiselect menu is unacceptable because of the length and the need to display a lot of information about the items to be selected. The form is re-entrant, so I need to be able to select the items that were selected the last time that the form was filled out. This is logically equivalent to specifying the selected option(s) in a select tag.

Please forgive me if I have overlooked the answer in the documentation or in my search of the forums. It just seems that this should be fairly simple to do. BTW, you've done a great job providing a quality product.

Hello,

I'm not sure if I understand right the problem, but you can save the selection in variable (multiselect option of the grid should be enabled and then select it again using setSelection method.

It is important to note that you should save the state of the selected rows this way.

to get the selection

var selectedrows = $.extend([], $("#grid").jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selarrrow'));

to select it again

for(var i=0;i<selectedrows;i++) {

$("#grid").jqGrid('setSelection',selectedrows[i]);

}

Best Regards

Tony
