Question

I need to pass or make available a jqgrid colModel column name to a function triggered by the jqgrid event “onclickSubmit:” defined in the edit options of navGrid – but i don’t know how to do that.

here are the jqgrid and javascript code segments:

..., onclickSubmit: fixpostdata}, // navGrid edit options
.
.
. 
var fixpostdata = function(params, postdata){
    var rowid = $('#tab3-grid').getGridParam('selrow');

    // when the onclickSubmit event fires and calls this function,
    // a string containing a jqgrid colmodel column name needs to be
    // made available in order to modify that cell's value contained
    // in the postdata array prior to posting it to the server.

    columnName =  ???;

    var value = $('#tab3-grid').jqGrid('getCell', rowid, columnName );

    postdata[ columnName ] = value;

    return;
}

Can anyone help?
also,
what’s contained in the params argument?

Answer 1

If you need to send contain of some hidden column to the server together with other editable columns you need include editable: true in the hidden column and add one more property

editrules: { edithidden: false }
