Hi,

Because of the stateless nature of the web, this is a classic problem and I wondered if anyone has a good (easy ) strategy that could help me. I've constructed my jquery grid and it works superbly (thank you Tony for your hard work on jqGrid). One of the columns in my grid has an edit button, which when the user clicks it, it takes the user to a different page where they can edit the selected record. There is of course a link on that page that allows the user back to the page with the grid (or simply pressing the back button). But of course the user is

Hello,

Also one possible solution is to use cockies and gridExport method. The grid export method will export the current state in grid as JSON string which can be asy loaded.

I'm not sure that this will do the job, since of cockie limitations – if I remember right it is about 4K.

Regards

Hi Tony,

I don't think I need to go to that extreme of exporting/importing the whole grid configuration. But I have now begun to explore your idea of using cookies.

All I'm really trying to do is “remember” the search criteria the user has entered via the popup mutisearch form – which appears to be stored in postData. I am now writing the properties of postData to cookies, so that during the beforeRequest event I check the value of _search. If its true I write the postData properties back to the cookies because I assume the user has just used the popup multisearch form again to issue a new search. The grid then continues to load the data correctly. I've also added code to the onPaging event to set the page properties

Tony,

I wonder if you can help – as I stated in the previous posts I'm quite close to achieving my goals of saving the search criteria (whether it be to cookies or server side). Essentially when using multisearch: true – i.e. the advanced search. I want to enter the search criteria – save this criteria to cookies, then when I return to the page, retrieve the search criteria from the cookies so that when the grid calls the server for data it passes the correct search parameters to the server. As stated above I have all of this working correctly.

Hello,

To do what you want we need to add aditional procedure in jquery.searchFilter.js

Also another possible solution is to trigger clicking
