Thank you Tony. That works.

Tony, I found the getColProp function in the docs. This sort of gives me what I want but you have to name each column – you can not get info on all the columns.

This does not work:

*********************

gridParams = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp());

*********************

So I have to do this

*********************

gridParams1 = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp(”id”));
gridParams2 = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp(”name”));
gridParams3 = JSON.stringify($(”#a_all”).getColProp(”date”));

*********************

Note too that I think there is a problem with the column widths not being updated.

I have a column name and if I look at the properties it shows:

*********************

{”name”:”name”,”index”:”name”,”width”:160,”editable”:true,”edittype”:”text”,”editoptions”:{”size”:”75″,”maxlength”:”250″},”resizable”:true}

*********************

That’s fine. Now if I use the hide/show column feature to remove this from the grid it shows:

*********************

{”name”:”name”,”index”:”name”,”width”:160,”editable”:true,”edittype”:”text”,”editoptions”:{”size”:”75″,”maxlength”:”250″},”resizable”:true,”hidden”:true}

*********************

That is fine too as it is correctly stating that the column is now hidden.

But if I show the column and adjust the width manually (by dragging the separator bar) then the change is not being shown. If I drag / shrink / expand the name column on screen the width is always showing as

*********************

“width”:160

*********************

Should not this change as I change the column width on screen?

tony is there any progress on this?

In the meantime how can I save and load the grid parameters for just the columns?

I am using the setcolumns js which works great but the info is lost when the page is reloaded. I am also changing the column widths but this info is also lost on page reload.

what getgridparam do I need to use to get that info?

currently the documentation only shows:

“url”
“sortname”
“sortorder”
“selrow”
“page”
“rowNum”
“datatype”
“records”
“selarrow”

Thanks Tony I will check it out.

On a related theme I think there is a problem with include false: for formedit.

For testing I set this to false but on the non editable grid I then lose the toolbar icons.

This grid just has search and reload but setting the include formedit to false removes the icons and produces an object doesn’t support this property error.

Here’s the nav bar icons.

*******************************
.navGrid(”#pager_today”,{refresh:true,edit:false,add:false,del:false,search:true},
{}, // edit options
{}, // del options
{}, // add options
{width:450,Find:”Search”,sopt:} // search options
);

Tony I could not get the jquery popup feature to work.

Have now reverted to basics and have a solution using plain javascript window open.

In the json string I now have:

*****************

$time = ‘[a href=”#” onclick=”javascript:window.open(\’/data/’ . trim($row<a href=") . ‘.php\’,\’popup\’,\’width=400,height=200\’);”]’ . trim($row[time]) . ‘[/a]‘;

*****************

This works fine.

Cheers.” class=”bbcode_url”>) . ‘.php\’,\’popup\’,\’width=400,height=200\’);”]’ . trim($row[time]) . ‘[/a]‘;

*****************

This works fine.

Cheers.
