Adding a button to a row in jqgrid

Question

I want to add a button to each row in my grid that will bring up a new window. Do not see this feature in this very rich control. Must be missing something

Answer 1

Here's one example, from the jqGrid demos page:

jQuery("#rowed2").jqGrid({ 
    url:'server.php?q=3', 
    datatype: "json", 
    colNames:['Actions','Inv No','Date', 'Client', 'Amount','Tax','Total','Notes'], 
    colModel:[ 
        {name:'act', index:'act', width:75,sortable:false}, 
        {name:'id',index:'id', width:55}, 
        {name:'invdate',index:'invdate', width:90, editable:true}, 
        {name:'name',index:'name', width:100,editable:true}, 
        {name:'amount',index:'amount', width:80, align:"right",editable:true}, 
        {name:'tax',index:'tax', width:80, align:"right",editable:true}, 
        {name:'total',index:'total', width:80,align:"right",editable:true}, 
        {name:'note',index:'note', width:150, sortable:false,editable:true} 
    ], 
    rowNum:10, 
    rowList:[10,20,30], 
    imgpath: gridimgpath, 
    pager: jQuery('#prowed2'), 
    sortname: 'id', 
    viewrecords: true, 
    sortorder: "desc", 
    gridComplete: function(){ 
        var ids = jQuery("#rowed2").getDataIDs(); 
        for(var i=0;i<ids.length;i++){ 
            var cl = ids[i]; 
            be = "<input style='height:22px;width:20px;' type='button' value='E' onclick=jQuery('#rowed2').editRow("+cl+"); ></ids>"; 
            se = "<input style='height:22px;width:20px;' type='button' value='S' onclick=jQuery('#rowed2').saveRow("+cl+"); />"; 
            ce = "<input style='height:22px;width:20px;' type='button' value='C' onclick=jQuery('#rowed2').restoreRow("+cl+"); />"; 
            jQuery("#rowed2").setRowData(ids[i],{act:be+se+ce}) 
        } 
    }, 
    editurl: "server.php", 
    caption:"Custom edit " }
).navGrid("#prowed2",{edit:false,add:false,del:false}); 

You can also do it with a custom formatter.
