I wonder if it is possible to simulate the behaviour you want in this way:

have say 5 columns in the grid

1) a yes/no column A

2) a yes/no column B

3) a yes/no column C

4) a yes/no column D

5) a text column, that comines the results of columns 1-4 and outputs the results to your format.

Make columns 1-4 not visible in the grid, but show up in the edit dialog

Make column 5 visible in the grid, but now show up in the edit dialog

Then, when you save your data from the edit, set the data for column 5 to whatever you want the results of columns 1-4 to say.

I hope that makes sense and helps

Couldn't you just feed the data into the grid as a table with 2 columns (“Table”, and “Data”), so the grid is still the same, but each table will be a different row rather than a column?

Hi there,

Perhaps you could attach an onkeypress event handler function to the input element.

Hi Manoj,

You're grid's id is “list” …

jQuery(“#list”).jqGrid({

… but your editCell and restoreRow calls are trying to edit a grid with id of “grid_id” …

jQuery('#grid_id').editCell(iRow, iCol, ed);

… change this to …

jQuery('#list').editCell(iRow, iCol, ed);

i hope that helps

cHeers,

If i were trying to solve this problem i would …

1) populate the second SELECT with all possible values (eg. all hair colours, all shirt sizes, etc.)

2) attach a function call to the onchange event of the first SELECT

3) in this function, i would loop through all OPTION's in the second SELECT, and make them either hidden or visible, depending on the value of the first select

Maybe theres a better way, just an idea 🙂 I hope it helps!

Cheers,

Michael
