Question

I used jqgrid inline-edit feature in my project, when I was editing a row, I don’t want to save it later, it will restore the former data, I was wondering where jqgrid stored its former data, what method can I use to get its former data when I was editing a row?

Answer 1

Yes, per the jqGrid documentation you can use the grid parameter savedRow:

This is a readonly property and is used in inline and cell editing modules to store the data, before editing the row or cell.

As @Arnav wrote, you can easily access this savedRow parameter using getGridParam:

$("#gridId").jqGrid("getGridParam", "savedRow");

In case you are interested, internally there is an array $t.p.savedRow that the previous data is stored to. You can see this within the restoreRow function in grid.inlineedit.js:

for( var k=0;k<$t.p.savedRow.length;k++) {
    if( $t.p.savedRow[k].id == rowid) {fr = k; break;}
}
