jqgrid Save Cell Edit When DatePicker Is Closed

Question

I have the following JQGrid

    $(\"#requestTable\").jqGrid({
    url: url,
    datatype: \'json\',
    mtype: \'GET\',
    altRows: \'true\',
    colNames:          


        

Answer 1

You should be able to use the onSelect() event from the datePicker in combination with the saveRow() from jqGrid. Something like:

   $(element).datepicker({
      onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { 
          var $input = inst.input; // the datepicker input
          var $row = $input.parents("tr"); 
          $("#requestTable").jqGrid('saveRow',$row.attr("id"), false); // this would probably need some work, I have no experience with jqGrid
   });
