onSelectRow fix for jqGrid
I love the jqGrid jQuery plugin. If you haven’t
tried it, I think you should. However, the onSelectRow
event doesn’t work that
well. Let’s fix it.
When you look at online demos that describe how to edit a grid row, you may have noticed that after editing a row, you must select a new one before you can edit the first one again.
To fix this, I replaced the original onSelectRow
implementation:
onSelectRow: function(id) {
if (id && id!==lastsel) {
jQuery('#rowed3').jqGrid('restoreRow',lastsel)
jQuery('#rowed3').jqGrid('editRow',id,true);
lastsel=id;
}
}
…with this one:
onSelectRow: function(id) {
if (id) {
if (id !== lastsel) {
articleGrid.jqGrid('restoreRow', lastsel);
articleGrid.jqGrid('editRow', id, true);
lastsel = id;
} else {
articleGrid.jqGrid('restoreRow', lastsel);
lastsel = "";
}
}
}
With this tiny adjustment, the grid now behaves a lot more like I want it to.
