I have set up a grid that gets data from my database and i have the search bar that works with text input (i can't figure out how to get the select dropdowns, when i try the spot just goes blank. but i'd like to get it working, but thats less important.) I want to be able to edit a line in the form menu and i got all the ColModel stuff set up and got all the dropdowns being populated from an ajax request and the form comes up and it will let me edit and it all looks great.
