I ocationally find your question because I don't subscribed the topic: one has on the stackoverflow more better notification system as here.

Abou your question I don't full understand your problem. How I can see from the fist look at the source code the documatation is correct and beforeCheckValues will be really called with 3 parameters. So if you don't receive the 3-d parameter you should post the code which you use. On the other side I don't understand why the 3-d parameter can be interesting bacause you can define separate parameters for Add and for Edit forms (see prmEdit and prmAdd parameters of navGrid).

Best regards

Can you help me little bit more ?  Because I want to know which  action is started from editing form , I tried   beforeCheckValues Event.   The documentation say that we have 3 parameters ( postdata,formid,mode) . When i use this event i receive just (postdata AND formid )   Parameter mode -miss.  The validation function is abs. the same (with 3 parameters) .

function validatedata( postdata,formid,mode)

Thank you !

you should use async: false option of the $.ajax.

Best regards

I have validation function :

                jQuery("#grid").jqGrid('navGrid','#pager',{add:true,edit:true,del:false},

                {beforeSubmit:validatedata,closeAfterAdd: false,closeAfterEdit: false }                 );                                                           function validatedata( postdata,formid) { 

                                var message="11111111111111″;

                                var complete=false; 

                   $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });

                     $.ajax({                           

                              type : 'POST',                           

                              url : 'd_eval.php',                           

                             dataType : 'json',                           

                             data: postdata,                           

                           success  : function(postdata) {                                 

                                         complete=false;                                 

                                        message=postdata.msg;                                 

                                        message='2222222222222';                                    }      

                                        });     

alert(message);     //  Strange !!!

                       return [complete,message] ;               

                      } 

IF i put alert before return , all is ok   (i can see message '2222222222222' on the top of edit form.  If there is no alert on the top is just first message  '11111111111111'      !        Is this a bug or i miss something?
