Question

I want to add a custom tooltip on jqgrid column headers.i hover over the column name and i get the tooltip(describes content related to that col)

Answer 1

I don’t think there is any built-in way to add custom headers. If you use the headertitles option, it will just use the text as the title attribute.

You’ll probably have to set them manually doing something like this:

$("th[role='columnheader']").attr("title", "some description");

You can add that code to one of the callbacks such as gridComplete.
