Question

So, basically what I’m trying to do is making it so when the server sends back results like:

"Car Boat House"

That jqgrid will populate them in a cell like:

Car
Boat
House

I’m using the css method of telling jqgrid to do multiline on this cell with this:

cellattr : function(rowId, tv, rawObject, cm, rdata) {
    return 'style="white-space: normal"';
}

Is there any way to do this? Some kind of “preFill” method for jqGrid I didn’t see that would let me substitute:

" "

for

"<br/>" 

on the fly?

I had success forcing my server to jam in the break as the delimiter, but I wept as I wrote it and had to remove it immediately for fear of bursting into flames for sinful coding.

Answer 1

Pass the value of the cell to a formatter function. See http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:custom_formatter

function myformatter ( cellvalue, options, rowObject )
{
  return cellvalue.replace(/\s/,'<br />');
}
