I want to change the cell padding of a jqGrid. For testing purposes I want to set it to 10px all ar

Answer 1

According to the jqGrid developer, the cellLayout option is the preferred way. Unfortunately the documentation is a bit cryptic:

This option determines the padding + border width of the cell. Usually this should not be changed, but if custom changes to td element are made in the grid css file this will need to be changed. The initial value of 5 means paddingLef⇒2+paddingRight⇒2+borderLeft⇒1=5
