jqGrid, how to populate select list from query

Question

I got a basic jqGrid working in my coldfusion project. One of my fields in jqGrid is a combo box. Currently the editoption values are hard coded just like below.

<         


        

Answer 1

I adapted the code for searchoptions instead of editoptions. However it was automatically selecting the first option and filtering the list so I added the following to alleviate that.

 $response ='<select>';
 $response .= '<option value=""></option>';
 while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM)) {
      $response .= '<option value="'.$row[0].'">'.$row[0].'</option>';
 }
 $response .= '</select>';

 echo $response;
