Hi Tony,

Thanks for the response, but it's not quite what I'm after.

I've got a little perl script which returns the text (minus the trailing semi-colon) okay, I just can't force that data into the editoptions when the grid loads, i guess what I'm really after is how to craft a line along the following lines;

—

{name:'col1',index:'col1',editable:true,edittype:”select”,editoptions:{value: $.get('http://localhost/cgi-bin/selectvalues.cgi')}},

—

(the above doesn't work,btw)

Where the editoptions are pulled from the .cgi script. I can see the script fire, I just can't get it fill the select box with the values (I've even tried getting the script to return a hand-coded list without the trailing semi-colon, and it still doesn't populate the select box)

Thanks for your time

Kind regs

Stew
