I've now added documentation for the plugin, available via the demo page.

Hello? Anyone home?

Tony,

Thanks for responding, but that doesn't answer my question. I will try to clarify.

I know that there is a beforeRequest event, but to handle it I need to change options to include a handler for beforeRequest. So a user of my plugin could write:

$(“#grid”).jqGrid({ beforeRequest: function() { $.gridHistory(this) } });

…but that's an incredibly awkward way to use a “plugin”, especially if the user is already hooking beforeRequest for something else.

I would prefer that the user could just write:

$(“#grid”).jqGrid({ history: true });

What I'm asking for, essentially, is a global beforeRequest handler (well, better still would be an event which ran once when the grid was created, not before every request — but even a global beforeRequest is better than what I have now). One which always runs for all grids, not one specific grid. Like I said, it would go in the global $.jgrid rather than the grid-specific options object.

Does that make more sense?

Thanks,

-Craig
