How to add Tooltip to jqgrid

Question

which is the best way to show tool tip on jqgrid?

Answer 1

Tooltip shown in jqGrid on mouse hover is nothing more as the "title" atribute of the corresponding HTML elements. If you want change tooltip with setCell:

$("#list").setCell(rowid,'Name','','',{'title':'my custom tooltip on cell'});

where the 'Name' is the column name where the tooltip will be set and rowid identify the row. For more informaion read this answer including the references.
