Hello, I've tried with jqgrid 4.1 and it works fine.

Cellvalue in formatter function is "" and therefore the if condition is true..

Did you try debugging to find the value of "cellvalue"..? try a alert("*"+Cellvalue+"*") inside

the formatter to see what you get.. (*s added to distinguish spaces in the alerted message if Cellvalue is a space)

Hi,

I'm using custom formatter to display: 'no translation available…' text whenever data in one cell is empty or null.

Here is how my format/unformat functions look like:


function emptyTranslationFormatter(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
  if (cellvalue == null || cellvalue == '')
    return 'no translation available...';

  return cellvalue;
}
 
function emptyTranslationUnformatter(cellvalue, options, cellobject) {
    return '';
}

Column is defined this way

{ name: 'Title', index: 'Title', sortable: false, formatter: emptyTranslationFormatter, unformat:

emptyTranslationUnformatter, editable: true, editoptions: { size: 100} },

I use:

* jqGrid 3.8.2

* jQuery 1.4.4

* I have locale js file included before jqGrid js.

How can I force empty values appear on edit form while having nice text available in grid's read-only

appearance ?

many thanks,
