Question

For some reason on our grid the vertical alignment of the rows is not middle. It appears to be top. Is there something specific you have to do to achieve vertical alignment?

Here’s an example of the alignment:

Our grid definitions:

$.extend(jQuery.jgrid.defaults, { 
    url:'NoData.json',
    datatype: 'json',
    mtype: 'GET',
    altRows:true, 
    //altclass:'zebraOdd',
    loadError: function(xhr,st,err) { 
        handleError(xhr, 'Error loading grid');
    },
    onPaging: function (b) {
        return onPage($(this));
    },
    beforeRequest: function() {
        beforeReq($(this));
    },
    loadComplete: function() {
        loadComp($(this));
    },
    onSelectRow: function(id){
        $(this).resetSelection(); //This prevents the disabling of the row hovering and altclass - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3916477
    },
    scrollOffset:0, //No scrollbar
    rowNum:15,
    shrinkToFit:true,
    width:1120,
    viewrecords: true ,
    height: '360',
    hidegrid: false //Don't show the expand/collapse button on the top right
});  

$("#grid-pos").jqGrid({
    colNames:['Position Account', 'Product Code', 'Product Type','Expiry', 'Put/Call', 'Strike Price', 'Current Long', 'Current Short', 'Held Exercise Requests', 'Held Abandon Requests', 'Last Trade Date / Expiration Date', 'Select Operation'],
    colModel :[
                   {name:'account', index:'account', width:85, sortable:false},
                   {name:'productCode', index:'productCode', width:85, sortable:false},
                   {name:'productType', index:'productType', width:85, sortable:false},
                   {name:'expiry', index:'expiry', width:85, align:'right',stype:'select', sortable:false},
                   {name:'putCall', index:'putCall', width:85, sortable:false},
                   {name:'strike', index:'strike', sorttype: 'float', align:'right', width:85, sortable:false},
                   {name:'long', index:'long', width:85, align:'right', sortable:false},
                   {name:'short', index:'short', width:85, align:'right', sortable:false},  
                   {name:'exercise', index:'exercise', width:90, align:'right', sortable:false},
                   {name:'abandon', index:'abandon', width:90, align:'right', sortable:false},
                   {name:'LTD', index:'LTD', width:110, align:'right', sortable:false},
                   {index:'operations', width:150, title:false, align: 'center', formatter:opsFormatter, sortable:false}
               ],
               pager: '#div-pos-pager',
               caption: 'View Positions'
});

We had our grid within another div that had vertical-align:top set. Removed this and we were good. duh
