“showOnLoad”=> true ensures the search dialog is visible on loading the grid. With PHP jqGrid is there then a way to make it stay visible when the user clicks elsewhere in the grid?
We would like the ability to have the search dialog across the top above the grid and have it permanently visible. I know we can put search/filter boxes in the toolbar but these would not work with the hidden fields on which we search. We could do this using javascript but are interested in building it in the php code we use to build the grid.
