jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hello Tony,

Yes, that was in your original post and somewhere along the way I forgot it; sorry to bother you with that bit of trivia.

I now have this function working ... almost. I made a  change to use .bind, as shown here:

      onSelectRow: function(id){
       $('#'+id+'_'+'invoice').bind('change',jqOnChangeinvoice);
       $('#'+id+'_'+'amount').bind('change',jqOnChangeamount);
        $('#tblcontents_details').editRow(id,true); },

This now fires only when the field contents change; when it does fire an object is passed to the listener (e.g., jqOnChangeInvoice -- shown here, still very much in test mode):

function jqOnChangeinvoice(id)
  {
    alert('id =' + id);
    $.ajax({url: "wc.dll?PSProcess~GetInvData&sk=2EC0GGNI01900&sh=75", type: 'GET', data: {invoice: '15' }, datatype: 'xml', success: alert("Data Loaded" + data) } );
  };

When this fires, the alert shows "id = object Object"

Is this what you would expect?

If this object the cell or the row?

How can I get or set values from/to other cells on the same row in this function call?

Thanks

Thank you Tony,

With your tip I have managed to get this going -- I guess the hard way, because I am using a getJSON call that seems to do all that I want it to. I'm not ignoring your advice, I tried to make it work using the .change approach, but it kept firing when I created the new row and I wasn't able to see far enough ahead to be confident I could do different things for different fields. Not only am I learning jqGrid, but I really know almost nothing about jQuery and even javascript -- that's why your package is such a life-saver. I am learning, however.

Anyway, that part works and I greatly appreciate your help and patience on this. I am now getting json data back and am starting to work with that.

My problem is that I can insert this data into some of the fields on the selected row but not others -- my code (when the call is successful) includes the following:

        $('#' + id + '_invoiced').html(json.amount);
        $('#' + id + '_outstanding').html(json.outstanding);
        $('#' + id + '_project').val(json.project);
        $('#' + id + '_client').val(json.client);

Project and Client are modified correctly but Invoiced and Outstanding are not. One difference is that Project and Client are editable fields, and Invoiced and Outstanding are not. I tried using .val() on those two as well, but that also did not work. Are we able to modify uneditable fields like this -- or what am I doing wrong? Or is it that they are modified correctly but just not displaying?

Thanks
