I have a jqgrid that has main rows and a footer row (with userdata loaded) and then a formatter that alters the data in the cells to be linkable. The cells in the main body can
While I didn't see any way to have jqGrid respond to select (doesn't even seem that that footer is selectable) or a click. The footer row is specified by a ui-jqgrid-sdiv
class. You could attach a click event handler as below.
$('.ui-jqgrid-sdiv').click(function() {alert('Bong')});
Edit: In response to Gill Bates question to add a footer event but only on a single cell the selector would be:
$('.ui-jqgrid-sdiv').find('td[aria-describedby="GridName_ColumnName"]').click(function() { alert("Bong");});
GridName_ColumnName is the format for all the footer td aria-describedby, and you can see the exact name via firebug element inspector (or any of it's equivalents).
