First up, props for a super jQuery plugin – it really is very neat indeed!

I'm using jqgrid from a perl script, and I can't seem to craft an incantation to populate the a select box from a perl script. If I use a hard-coded values:”:;” field it's fine, but it doesn't solve my problem.

Please will someone post an example which shows how to do this? I've recoded it about 50 times to no avail 🙁 – I've tried using setColProp, setGridParam, $.get('/cgi-bin/blah') and onLoadComplete, and even tried specifying the url of the script in the editoptions: segment in the colModel, can't get it working.

Many thanks for your time and a great plugin!

The last item should not have this ; at end – i.e the right is

item1:value1;item2:value2;…itemN:valueN

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

Try first without cgi script. If all is ok then something with a call is not correct

Tony

P.S

Not sure if you can use get inside this. I recommend you call get before constructing the grid. Set the result in variable and put this in colModel

Hi Tony!

This is my first post, so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you

for the great job you've done.

I have the same problem, i.e. I'm trying to dynamically fill the select box

with the server-side data. I did what you've proposed:

1) call $.get() before constructing the grid

2)

We have here a lot of possible solutions.

1. Setting the values direct via script – here is PHP example:

When you call the page with a grid – call it as php page and not as html

colModel [{….

{name:”mayname”…editable:true,edittype:”select”,

editoptions:{''}…},

…

]

where the variable $myeditoptions holds the values from the db

This is the recommendet solution. If this is not possible

2. We can use the method from previous post. We can cal this after the grid is constructed.It is not too late – why?

$.get(”myurl”,data:mydata,function(result,status){

if (status == “success”) {

// get the result here, suppose that in myselect are the values

$(”#mygrid”).setColProp(”myname”,{editoptions:{myselects}});

…

}

}

3. Another possible solution is to use the userData in jqGrid –

(this is another elegant solution). See userData examples haw to do that.

Then

loadComplete : function() {

// get the userData here and convert it to format supported

// in colModel then the same tehchniquie as from 2

$(”#mygrid”).setColProp(”myname”,{editoptions:{myselects}});

…

}

~Enjoy

Tony
