Question

is there a way to positioning the dialog message \"Please select row\" in the corner left top of the selected grid?

I just want the same behavior in alert warning, j

Answer 1

As I wrote upper in a comment I have a long table and I need alert window always to be at the center of viewport. So I need dynamic positioning of the alert window. I need to set position after user scroll page down and click "edit" or "delete".

As I understand Nav does not have events like "beforeShowForm" or "beforeShowSearch" for the alert modal window. Also I can't catch clicks on the pager.

Solution provided by Oleg and Paulo Pinto does not work for me. I don't know why. I even don't understand how it works :)

So I found my own straight and ... not nice way.

loadComplete: function(){
    $(window).scroll(function() {
        $('#alert_window_id').center();
    });
}

where "center()" is

jQuery.fn.center = function () {
    this.css("position","absolute");
    this.css("top", ( $(window).height() - this.height() ) / 2+$(window).scrollTop() + "px");
    this.css("left", ( $(window).width() - this.width() ) / 2+$(window).scrollLeft() + "px");
    return this;
}

After loadComplete the alert div seems already exist and grid has its full height so window scroll exists too. Because I have no events of clicking "edit" button or alert dialog shown - i am repositioning alert dialog after every scroll event.

look at this answer

you need to change your beforeShowForm event

or you can implement this function on afterShowform event

function centerForm ($form) {
                    $form.closest('div.ui-jqdialog').position({
                        my: "center",
                        of: $('#grid').closest('div.ui-jqgrid')
                    });
                    }

If I understand correct your question you can use alerttop and alertleft options of navGrid. The parameters could be included in parameters option of navGrid. The answer describes one more non-documented options of navGrid.
