Here’s the jsfiddle for the issue with prmNames (I removed the hidden:true property for column idPer. In edit form the value is displayed correctly, after saving is replaced by the number of the row):

http://jsfiddle.net/d26hzhu6/2/

Notice that if you remove the property id: “idPer” in prmNames this problem is fixed.

Also the same code works correctly in v4.4.4, as you can see in the fiddler used below.

Regarding the issue with the combos:

I was using version 4.4.4. I know it may sound strange, but it was working as I previously explained without formatter:’select’:

I retrieve from the DB the text “Australia” for the field “idCity”. When opening the edit form, jqgrid will match the text to positionate the combo. After successfull submit (which post idCity=3) the text “Australia” would appear in the grid instead of the value 3.

Here’s the jsfiddle using v.4.4.4 exposing the behaviour I mentioned above:

http://jsfiddle.net/Lgy7ae3h/1/

After comparing the code in formedit I found that in version 4.4.5 some code was removed that provided that functionality (all related to a var name “expost”). I also found the commit of that change:

https://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid/commit/edb5073b6bd617878221674d201cba060489241c

Now, how can I update my code to make it work as before but using the new version?. I have more than 20 grids and I would try to avoid to change the stored procedures.

Thanks for your response. I’ve never used jsfiddle and I don’t know how to simulate ajax requests (apparently only POST is supported and I’m using GET). Anyway here’s a small demo:

HTML Body:

      <table id=”sampleGrid”><tr><td></td></tr></table>
      <div id=”pagerSampleGrid”></div>  Â

The response from my web service getPeople is (I’m using the format suggested in jqGrid demos “Data Mapping”->”Data Optimization” to reduce the size of the response):

Thanks for your reply.

I've already read that information but I don't know if jQuery 2.0 Final has a released date (I only found early 2013, not long after 1.9).

Besides, jQuery 1.9 and 2.0 will support the same API. As stated in jQuery blog: “Our goal is for 1.9 and 2.0 to be interchangeable as far as the API set they support. When 2.0 comes out, your decision on which version to choose should be as simple as this: If you need IE 6/7/8 support, choose 1.9; otherwise you can use either 1.9 or 2.0.”

I know IE 8 and below are not standards-compliants and full of bugs, but I think maybe is too early to drop support.
