Question

I am trying to assign a JQGrid object to a var so that I can call .setGridWidth on it like so:

var subGridName = 'allDetailsJqGrid_' + idList[i];
var grid = $(subGridName);
grid.setGridWidth(width);

but subGrid seems to be coming back as a plain Javascript object instead of an actual JQGrid. How can I get the actual JQGrid?

Answer 1

I got this working by adding ‘_t’ to the end of my id. ‘_t’ must be something JQGrid adds to the actual JQGrid name.

var subGridName = 'allDetailsJqGrid_' + idList[i] + '_t';
var grid = $('#' + subGridName);
grid.setGridWidth(width);

I sure hope this helps someone because it took me a while to figure out.
