Hidden Columns in jqGrid

Question

Is there any way to hide a column in a jqGrid table, but have it show as read-only when the row is edited in the form editor modal dialog?

Answer 1

You can use the following code to hide a table column..

JQuery("tableName").hideCol("colName");

And you can use the following code to show it again.

JQuery("tableName").showCol("colName");

For your question, you can call the hideCol() code on the document.ready(), and you can bind the showCol() code on the dialog's edit/click event.
