Question

I’m trying to use the following JavaScript function to get a particular cell value from a jqgrid upon click.

In the below function #datagrid is the table where the jqgrid is stored in.

            $("#datagrid").click(function(){ 
                var selr = $("#datagrid").getCol('companyid');
                alert(selr);
            });

My problem is when I click the jqgrid it will show ALL row id’s from the jqgrid in the alert message, but I only need a particular companyid which was selected from the jqgrid. How do I make this work?

You should use getCell function to read the value from the cell identified by row id.

So, You should try something like this:

$("#datagrid").click(function(){ 
    var grid = jQuery('#datagrid');
    var sel_id = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow');
    var myCellData = grid.jqGrid('getCell', sel_id, 'MyColName');
});
