Actually you can look at jquery.searchFilter.js.

Are you talking about the advanced search? could you post your relevant comlete code.

Thanks

The way we are implementing this is to save the search parameters in session when ever a search is conducted. Then when the user returns to this page, we use the session value to filter the data and also return the values as user data in the json string. The grid complete function is utilized to set these values as search critera.

Any suggestions as to where to "touch" to implement this?

Could you scatch the solution - willing to impleent.

Everything is possible

Tony

If we dig into the code, do you think this can be done?

Thanks

Anurag

Right now I understand what you mean. Sorry currently not possible.

From my page I am passing back the search data parameters that were stored in the session in userdata as follows -

userdata { searchdata: [{field:firstname, op:bw, value:A}, {.....}] }

and can access the same in the gridComplete event.

How can I set these values back into the search form (multisearch:true), so that when the user presses the search button, the search parameters are already selected for him?

Thanks

Anurag

You can use postData array for this purpose.

Store the the search parameters and then:

var stored_param = {}

stored_param = here your code to get these

...jqGrid({

...

postData: stored_param,

...

});

Do not forgaet maybe to add search:true in these parameters

I don't know if you can access to the json array in the client side script, but maybe Tony could tell us…

I would like to try and avoid using cookies and store the information in a session, is there any method to return back the search parameters as part of the JSON data string and populate it in load complete?

Thanks

Anurag

(seach parameters input id's always stats with "gs_")

Save search parameters ("memoriseFiltre" is a function that saves a cookie)

var initialLoad = true;
jQuery("#mygrid").jqGrid({

...

loadComplete: function() {
                    // Save filters, but not when displaying the page for the first time
                        if (!initialLoad) {
                        $(document).find("[id^='gs_']").each( function() {
                            memoriseFiltre($(this).attr('id'), $(this).val());
                        });
                    initialLoad = false;
                }

});

Get back search parameters ("recupereFiltre" is a function that gets a cookie value)

// After creating the grid

var filterValue;

$(document).find("[id^='gs_']").each( function() {

             filterValue= recupereFiltre($(this).attr('id'));
             $(this).val(filterValue);
});

Is it possible to save the search parameters in  session or a cookie, so that next time the user comes back to the page the grid can be setup to display the previous results and also the search parameters are populated. We can keep track of the search parameters and use them to display the same data, but how can we populate them into the grid?

Thanks
