Tom, I have created for you a altRows example here:

http://www.trirand.net/examples/appearance/alternate_row_background/default.aspx

Please, take a look at it and experiment with all the Themes available (25 of them) in the “Themes” tab below the example. You will notice that some theme roller themes do not support altRows, some do, some have very hardly visible differences.

Also, run FireBug for FireFox and check out how our setup is different from yours. Another thing to watch for – which version are you using? Please, try the very last official release (I believe 3.5.3 if I am not mistaken, 3.6 is still in beta).

Hopefully we can work this out.

Can you please check out the version and the Theme you are using? Some of the ThemeRoller themes shipped do not support that (or it is very hardly visibile – for example the Redmond theme and the Start theme). You can check out with the UI Darkness for example.

I believe you can pretty much use the same logic, save the scrollTop before grid reload

var savedScrollTop = ts.grid.bDiv.scrollTop

and then restore it in the “gridComplete” event, instead of reseting to 0 (as is the original source). Will this work?

There is a client-side event gridComplete, you can use it to select the row that was originally selected. To obtain it, prior to the reload, do something similar to

var selRow = jQuery('#jqGridID').getGridParam('selrow')

then in gridComplete use something similar to this

jQuery('#jqGridID').setGridParam( {{ gridComplete: function()

I just checked the page, it states incorrect javascript error on line 64, and indeed there is one extra “,” after the “repeatitems” option that might be problematic.

Also, I got “Operation Aborted”, which often happens when components try to modify the DOM in IE before the page is ready (document.readyState). My guess here is that if you move the 3 grids initialize logic in the jQuery document.ready even, things will go smoother.

Nothing that is built-in the grid to dynamically retrieve that from database, since this is a pure client-side side utility. The only (and as far as I can tell, the best) way to do it is to first featch the data from database and then when constructing the jQuery init statement from jqGrid to include it as a server variable, e.g. write it directly from server.

In ASP.NET that woud be

jQuery(“#jqGridId”).jqGrid …

..

…

where DropDownValues are calculated on the server.

My guess here is that you would need to define the grid in the page (e.g. the javascript would not be in the “open” event of the window).

Then, in the “open” event, you can trigger jQuery(“#GridID”).trigger(”reloadGrid”)

Hope this helps.

In ASP.NET, you would just write directly to Response, then in case of error just End() the Response stream. Then, what is sent to client will be displayed by the grid, e.g.

try
