Question

I am using JQGrid edit rules to validated data in JQGrid cell. Now, it is showing model pop-up if error in input data and not allowed to add row. I want all functionality other than model popup. I want to show error in custom error div on page only. I don’t want model pop-up. But again all other things should be same only, like in case of error row should not be added. Here is the link of all the editrules I am using. I am using default one and couple of custom functions. All rules are working as required.

Please let me know if any further information needed.

Inline editing don’t support currently any other validation message as popup dialog. I agree that it’s a problem, but I can’t provide any common good solution for you.

What you can do for example is overwriting (subclass) the original $.jgrid.info_dialog to your custom implementation (see the answer for an example of such trick). Then you can validate based on input parameters of $.jgrid.info_dialog whether it is calling to display validation error of inline editing or not. In case of validation error you can place the error message on your custom div. In all other cases you can forward the call to the original $.jgrid.info_dialog.
