I've been googling around for an hour and still haven't managed to get beforeShowForm working.

I found this example on StackOverflow but it's not working for me, what am I missing?

function initGrid() {

      jQuery("#myGrid").jqGrid('navGrid','#myGrid-pager',
                { }, //options
                { // edit options
                    beforeShowForm: function(frm) {
                        alert("beforeShowForm edit");
                    }
                },
                { // add options
                    beforeShowForm: function(frm) {
                        alert("beforeShowForm add");
                    }
                },
                { }, // del options
                { } // search options
            );

}

Thanks,

There are a lot of exmples here in this forum.

You will neeed to use beforeShowForm form event for this purpose.

I have some fields that are allowed to be entered by the user when creating a new object but not when editing an existing object. Is there anyway I can set an option on the grid model to do that?

Thanks,

Aaron
