I just added this to the code and i am all good.

var flid = $('#RecList').getGridParam('selrow');

and changed the url to include/view_file.cfm?FLID=”+flid

and I am good to go.

First, I want to say what a great tool jqgrid is.  It is becoming the foundation of an application I am building.  It is just AWESOME!!

I am having a problem, I am using navButtonAdd to add a button that calls a jquery modal that displays an embedded pdf.  I am able to open the dialog box no problem and it goes to the right page.  But, it doesn't get the "id" variable from the column and I don't know what I am doing wrong.  Can someone help me?

Here is the code I am using:

<script>
$(document).ready(function()
        {
            $("#RecList").jqGrid(
            {
                url:'include/RecInvFiles.cfc?method=RecInvFiles&AID=<cfoutput>#url.AID#</cfoutput>',
                datatype: 'json',
                colNames:['file_id','file_class_id','Account','Report Date','Fund Name','Report Class','File Type'],
                colModel :[
                    {name:'file_id',index:'file_id', width:70, sorttype:"int", hidden:true},
                    {name:'file_class_id',index:'file_class_id', width:70, sorttype:"int", hidden:true},
                    {name:'Account',index:'Account', width:200, sorttype:"string"},
                    {name:'DATE',index:'DATE', width:100, align:"left",sorttype:"date", datefmt:"YYYY/MM/DD"},
                    {name:'Fund',index:'Fund', width:200, sorttype:"string"},
                    {name:'Classname',index:'Classname', width:200, align:"left",sorttype:"string"},
                    {name:'Ext',index:'Ext', width:70,align:"left",sorttype:"string"}
                ],
                pager: $('#RecPager'),
                rowNum:8,
                rowList:[8,12,16],
                sortorder: "asc",
                sortname: "file_id",
                multiselect:false,
                viewrecords: true,
                imgpath: '/test/script/images',
                height:'auto',
                hiddengrid: false,
                toolbar:[true,"top"],
                jsonReader: {
                    root: "ROWS",
                    page: "PAGE",
                    total: "TOTAL",
                    records:"RECORDS",
                    cell: "",
                    id: "0"
                }
               
            });
            $("#RecList").navGrid(           
                "#RecPager",{add:false,edit:false,del:false,view:false,search:false,refresh:false}
                ).navButtonAdd('#RecPager',{caption:"View",onClickButton: function(id)
                      {
                        var settings = {bgiframe: true,resizable: false,width:450,height:300,modal: true,overlay: {backgroundColor: '#000',opacity: 0.5},buttons: {'Cancel': function() { $(this).dialog("destroy").remove(); }}};
                        jqm_launcher('Viewed',"include/view_file.cfm?FLID="+id,settings);
                    }
                 });
             });

   
function jqm_launcher( title, page, settings )
{
    $("#dialog").dialog("destroy").remove();
    $('<div id="dialog" title="'+title+'"></div>').appendTo("body");
    $("#dialog").load(page);   
    $("#dialog").dialog(settings);
};
</script>

I am sure it is something stupid, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
