Question

How can I instruct jqGrid to directly select all checkboxes when I instantiate it? Can this be done as a parameter in the colModel somehow?

Answer 1

I tried the

$('.cbox').click();

in the gridComplete but that didn’t work. Then I tried this:

$('.cbox').attr('checked', true);

and that worked, it set all checkboxes to checked but what happened then is that I needed to click twice to uncheck one.

What worked for me was:

$('.cbox').trigger('click');
