Hi,
If I understand right you want to set the width of the grid to given width of some element. Right?
Initially this can be done this way:
// get the width of the element

el_width = $(“elem”).width()
$(“tbl_id”).jqGrid({
// here are other parameters
….

width : el_width,
…
})

This way the grid will have the width that you want.
The missing part here is that there is no method to set the new width of the grid, but I think that this can be done

Hi,
Use afterSubmit event to do that. Here is example:
(See Documentation)

afterSubmit: function(data,postdata){
var result = data.responseText.split(";");
if (result[0] == "success"){
//do something here
return [true];
} else return [false,"The Error message here"];
}


Where data is the data returned from the server and post data is the data that is posted

I have tested such words with xml and IE6, but all is Ok.
If you use xml do you have send the approprite headers in php this is like:


header("Content-type: application/xhtml+xml;charset=utf-8")


I think that there should be a more common way – set attributes of each individual cell – example
colModel [
{name:’name’, width:30,…,options: {align:’left’,color:’red’,colspan:’2’…}
…
]
but I’m not sure that some attributes will work.

Hi Gerard,

Thank you. Right now I do not have IE7 by hand.

Gerard,

1. Row numbering – if you use server side scripts you can do easy this by adding an additional column for row number and return the appropriate numbers from the server. The problem is only when we use clientSide data. I will add this in the list and will what can I do.

2. rowspan and colspan – will make some tests, but not sure that this will be easy – will add additional code (a lot) for the resizing.

3. good idea – this will show the user which columns are sortable.

Anyway thank you for the suggestions

Best Regards
Tony

Hi,
