Hi,
I'm trying to use the lastest jqGrid plugin and I'm having some problems using the grid the way our requirements are written. First of all, none of the 3 edit modes work for me. I want a grid where all required cells are open for editting in all rows. What I did was wrote some jQuery code to set the editRow property on every row to true to get around this problem. I want a grid that allows the user to make all the edits they want, then save or cancel everything at once. This actually works for now.
The next issue is in regards to a few select columns that I'm using the dataUrl to make an AJAX call to get the options. This works, however, the value of the field is not pre-selected. The html is rendered with the correct selected="selected" attribute but it is not preselected. This is still an outstanding issue.
The next issue is in regards to checkbox columns that do not send a value to the backend if the box is not checked. I understand that this is an html issue, but Grails got around the problem by adding hidden tags to send the value in both checked an unchecked cases. I expected the same with jqGrid. However, I got this to work with some javascript.
It just seems like there is roadblock after roadblock with this control. Could my continuing problems be caused by not using one of the 3 editting modes? How well is this control supported? Is this control just temporary until jQuery writes their own or what?
Please advise if you have any insights. Thanks in advance.

This is what I figured would happen ... no support. This is exactly the situation that gives Open Source software a bad name in the corporate environment for most, not all, open source technology. It's irresponsible to create something for the masses like libraries or plugins only to drop the support and tell people, "the source code is out there, you do it." It's the old cliche, want something done right, do it yourself!
Thanks for wasting my time, jqGrid.

Hello,
I should not answer of this post, but....
I know that publishing my code as open source some people will be happy and some not.
This is normal.
As develpoper you should know that for me is not possible to support all the comunity here.
You know the reason for this - I have family and...
The solution for this problem IMHO is: the people that uses the grid should help the other people, but
if you have time to look at the posts in this forum - it seems to me that only one person (not me) help the people.
The other people go out from here if its problems are solved.
Do not understand me wrong - I want to help all, but it is not possible for me physically.
The old times for the open source are changed and it is not the one before 10-15 years.
Look at the very successfully open source projects - did you think that people behind these projects work for the community?
(Android - Google, FireFox - Mozila Foundation...)
Look at jQuery UI - not so important development for the last two year, and they plan to have grid after two years -
Just thoughts.
Best Regards
Tony
