Question

I have a in-line delete button, I want to append more data to the delete message pop-up like this:
“Delete selected row with code = 7 ?”

I’m using the following in the delOptions:

beforeShowForm: function ($form) {
var sel_id = $("#list").jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow');
$("td.delmsg", $form[0]).html("Delete record with <b>code=" + $("#list").jqGrid('getCell', sel_id, 'cd') + "</b>?");}

The problem is If I click on the delete button without first clicking on any part of the row, the selrow is either null or it gets the previously selected row not the currently selected!

How do I make the row selected when clicking on the trash bin icon?

Any help is appreciated

I suppose that you use the example which I posted in the old answer. It was written in case of usage of the Delete button (the part of form editing) from navigator bar.

There are one hidden row in the Delete dialog which could help you. Try this one

beforeShowForm: function ($form) {
    // get comma separated list of ids of rows which will be delete
    // in case of multiselect:true grid or just id of the row.
    // In the code below we suppose that single row selection are used
    var idOfDeletedRow = $("#DelData>td:nth-child(1)").text();
    $form.find("td.delmsg").eq(0)
        .html("Delete record with <b>code=" +
            $(this).jqGrid('getCell', idOfDeletedRow, 'cd') + "</b>?");
    // REMARK: in old versions of jqGrid you can't use $(this) and
    //         will have to use something like $("#list")
}
