JQGrid, change row background color based on condition

Question

I have the following jqgrid that uses the jquery ui theme imported to my master page.

  $(\"#shippingscheduletable\").jqGrid({
            url: $(\"#shipping         


        

Answer 1

Just for reference of others here is the completed code. I also found I needed to add another condition to change the color of the row. I needed to change the row color only when the paid field is true, and when the status is complete. This code shows that. It also fixed the problem of losing the formatting when the grid is reloaded when sorting the columns. I hope this helps someone else.

    var rowsToColor = [];
    jQuery(function () {
        $("#shippingscheduletable").jqGrid({
            url: $("#shippingscheduleurl").attr('href'),
            datatype: 'json',
            mtype: 'GET',
            altRows: true,
            colNames: ['Dealer', 'Model', 'Invoice', 'Date', 'PO', 'Serial', 'Status', 'City', 'State', 'Paid', 'Promo', 'Carrier', 'Int Notes', 'Ord Notes', 'Terms'],
            colModel: [
     { name: 'Company', index: 'id', width: 125, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Model', index: 'Model', width: 50, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Invoice', index: 'Invoice', width: 50, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Date', index: 'OrderDate', width: 60, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Po', index: 'PONum', width: 75, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Serial', index: 'Serial', width: 50, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Status', index: 'OrderStatus', width: 70, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'City', index: 'City', width: 100, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'State', index: 'State', width: 30, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Paid', index: 'IsPaid', width: 30, align: 'left', formatter: rowColorFormatter },
     { name: 'Promo', index: 'Promo', width: 50, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Carrier', index: 'Carrier', width: 80, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'InternalNotes', index: 'InternalNotes', width: 110, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'OrderNotes', index: 'OrderNotes', width: 110, align: 'left' },
     { name: 'Terms', index: 'Terms', width: 60, align: 'left' }
     ],
            pager: jQuery("#shippingschedulepager"),
            rowNum: 100,
            rowList: [100, 150, 200],
            sortname: 'Company',
            sortorder: "asc",
            viewrecords: true,
            height: '700px',
            multiselect: true,
            gridComplete: function () {
                for (var i = 0; i < rowsToColor.length; i++) {
                    var status = $("#" + rowsToColor[i]).find("td").eq(7).html();
                    if (status == "Complete") {
                        $("#" + rowsToColor[i]).find("td").css("background-color", "green");
                        $("#" + rowsToColor[i]).find("td").css("color", "silver");
                    }
                }
             }
        });
    });

    function rowColorFormatter(cellValue, options, rowObject) {
        if (cellValue == "True")
            rowsToColor[rowsToColor.length] = options.rowId;
        return cellValue;
    }

so the formatter function adds the rowid that needs to be changed to an array if the paid value is true, then when the grid is complete it changes the css for each row id, after it checks the value of the 7th td which is where my status is found to make sure it is complete.
