Excellent, this is actually what I originally suggested but never tried

It might be possible to just copy paste a ThemeRoller theme and modify it manually to match selectors only the grid uses, have not tried that myself, but it might be a good idea [since this would also mean you could have two grids with different themes on the same page]. I will experiment a bit and let you know.

I will make sure we have one example that covers this area.

Tony just messaged me that there could be an easier way to do it, that is built-in into jqGrid. Please, take a look at this Wiki article

http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:common_rules

and the formoptions part of it in particular.

Out of the box no, but you could probably modify the javascript source to at least provide scrollbar. If you use FireBug, you will see that the Edit Dialog Window is essentially a div with id “editmodeeditgrid” and has overflow:hidden. Overflow:hidden essentially hide the scrollbar, so just modifying this in javascript sources will address this.

<div class="ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-jqdialog jqmID1" id="editmodeditgrid" style="overflow: hidden

Of course, you could probably create another layout (2, 3 columns, etc) but it will require more tweaking.

Hope this helps.

There is an example demonstrating how you can control that

Then click “New in Version 3.2”, and then “Cotrolling Server Errors” to see an example how you can show custom error in the grid upon server error.
