Question

I have Orders table with StreetId column. I need to display and operate with that column on my UI in the jqGrid using inline-editor with autocompletion.

Questions:
1. How to store StreetId related to StreetName in the column? I cannot find any options in colModel to specify both values. Should i create extra hidden column for StreetId to get it posted back after editions? What is common way for that? I cannot find examples 🙁
2. Where can i find example for jqGrid lookup fields with jQuery autocompletion?

Thank you!

take a look at the afterInsertRow: function(id, currentData, jsondata) event of jqgrid. You could do something like

afterInsertRow: function(id, currentData, jsondata) {
    $(this).setCell(id, "column_name", "<input type='hidden'>");
}
