hi there, I'm hoping someone can help me with this, it should be a useful feature for others as well. I am generating a grid which has a 'country' column. however, it takes up some space so I was hoping I might instead use a set of tiny flags like these ones:

basically, the images are all named after their internet codes which are kept in the database, it is quite simple to auto-generate the path of the correct flag image. The question is, how do I implement this into a jqGrid?

thanks in advance

Hi,

If you look at the javascript in this example...

http://www.thekmz.co.uk/GEPlug.....dtest2.htm

...it demostrates 2 methods I've used in the past.

Col1 is done by setting the image using setcell after the grid has loaded.

Col2 is done by using the formatter which is the method I now use and is probably cleaner. In my case if the value in the cell=1 show the image - if it's 0 don't. The same principle would work with country codes.

However if you want to do it within your data, as opposed to with a format, then method 1 gives an idea of the format of the cell contents you'd need.

(Ignore the other stuff in there - that's just there to switch between show/hide image when clicking on the cells)

Hope that helps a bit - you'll probably need something slightly different but the basic idea is there I think.

Regards

Romyn
