Add an event handler to jqGrid after instantiation

Question

I want to add an event handler to jqGrid (for the onSelectRow event) but after the grid has already been created on the page i.e. I cant hardcode it into the initial jqGrid

Answer 1

I just tested to use

$('#list').jqGrid('setGridParam', { onSelectRow: function(id){ alert(id); } } );

in my code and it works. If jqGrid has already an onSelectRow it overwrite the old one event handle. If there are no onSelectRow event handler, it add a new handler. So all must work.

If you do will have problem, you should post a code example which reproduce it.
