jqgrid - how to add parameters to extraparam of saveRow in inline editing mode

Question

I have a string:

var str = \"it\'s a beautiful day\";

I am passing this string to the function:

rowSave(id, str);

Answer 1

The code can be about the following:

var rowSave = function(id, str) {
    var strParts = str.split(' '), l = strParts.length, i, obj = {},
        codeStart = 'A'.charCodeAt(0); // 65

    for (i = 0; i < l; i++, codeStart++) {
        obj[String.fromCharCode(codeStart)] = strParts[i];
    }
    $("#myjqgrid").jqGrid('saveRow', id, {
        succesfunc: function(response) {
            return true;                
        },                                  
        url: "server.aspx",
        mtype: "GET",
        extraparam: obj
    });
}

First the obj will be filled as {A: "it\'s", B: "a", C: "beautiful", D: "day"} and then it will be used as the value of extraparam.

Answer 2

You can define a function similar to the following to build up the extra parameter object:

function encodeStr(str){
    var s = str.split(' '), i, result = {};

    for (i = 0; i < s.length; i++){
        result['param' + i] = s[i];
    }

    return (result);
}

jQuery.ajax is used internally by jqGrid and may ensure proper serialization. If you run into problems, use encodeURIComponent to encode each parameter.

Anyway, then just call into this object when you specify your parameters:

"extraparam": encodeStr(str)
