It is not so difficult. You need to use onInitializeForm which is caled only once whent the form is constructed. if the name of the date field in colModel if mydate, then

onInitializeForm : function(form_id) {
jQuery(“#mydate”,form_id).datepicker({showOn: ‘focus’});
}

You should configure the jsonReader in jqGrid
For more information refer to Data Types -> JSON Data -> JSON in documentation

Could you please post how jsonReader look like?

This bug has been reported by another user.
The problem is that this occur in certain versions of IE7 (do not known which). In my IE7 all work OK. Anyway I have updated this with a stopPropagation() – try the 3.2rc.

Use onInitializeForm event
something like

onInitializeForm:function(form_id) {

jQuery(“#select_id”,form_id).change(function(){
…
});

…
}

Will look, but I think that a more common solution is to add
subgriddatatype (xml,json,clientSide)

then if the data is local we can easy extend the subgrid to add array data.
Another options that is very good to have is to cache the subgrid data – i.e the data should be loaded only once and then when pressing the plus icon only to show the content.

Mike,
The key is not hidden. It is constructed when you edit the row.
It is possible to do that, but it is a little heavy.

Let’s suppose you call getRowData – this return array of type name:value

You known the name of the defined selectbox – right! You known the index of this col in the colModel too.
Now you should extract the data from editoptions for this field

var model = jQuery(“#mygrid”).getGridParam(‘colModel’);
var editopt = model[index].editoptions[value].split(“;”)

Now editopt is array of type key:value of the sectbox
You have the selected value – then the key is…
for (i in editopt) {
if(editopt = ‘selected_value’){
alert(i) // this is the key
break;
}
}

Mike,
afterSubmit accept two parameter (as of the docs)
the first one is the data returned from the server.
This data can be in in what you want format. You should get this data – transform it to array and send it back to jqGrid.

Here is a brief example.
Lets suppose that you return from server the flowing data
success;the_newid (I suppose all is ok – succes)
then

afterSubmit: function(server_data, posted_data) {
result = server_data.responseText.split(“;”)
if (result[0] == “success”)
return [true,””,result[1]];
else return [false,”Error inserting row”];
}

Enjoy
Tony
