Look at edit form settungs. I recommend you to change the settings for all edit/add form dialogs in the following way:

jQuery.extend(jQuery.jgrid.edit, {closeAfterAdd: true,closeAfterEdit: true,recreateForm: true});

I click the "Submit" button, and I'm getting to the webservice on the server, and getting the data back. The grid updates fine, but the edit form never closes. Do I need to provide an explicit success function, to close the edit form?

Look at here and here. I hope this example will be enough to make your code working.

I'm trying to get form edit to work, against a .ASMX web service. For this to work, I need to set the contentType on the ajax request to "application/json".

I can see where, in grid.formedit.js, the function postIt() constructs an ajaxOptions object, by extending $.jgrid.ajaxOptions and rp_ge.ajaxEditOptions. My problem is that when I step through the code, both of these objects are empty.

I've set ajaxOptions, ajaxGridOptions, ajaxRowOptions, and ajaxEditOptions on the grid, and none of these seem to be picked up by either $.jgrid.ajaxOptions and rp_ge.ajaxEditOptions in formedit's postIt().

Where do I need to set contentType, so that it is used in the ajax call after editing an edit form?
