I have two jqGrids. In the first grid I select a row and the second grid refreshes with data based on the id of the first grid. At least that is how it is supposed to work.
//This is code from the second grid
postData: '{ lobId: ' + BudgetCore.getLobId() + ' }',
//Snippet from BudgetCore...
getLobId: function () {
var row = jQuery(BudgetCore.GridTables.Lob).jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow');
return row;
}
In Chrome I try to debug the function, getLobid() but it is never executed. The postData request sent: { lobId:null }.
If I change the code above to '{ lobId: ' + 1 + ' }' it works, so there must be something wrong that is causing this function not to execute. In the Chrome JS console executing BudgetCore.getLobId() works fine.
You should use
postData: {
lobId: function () {
return $(BudgetCore.GridTables.Lob).jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow');
}
}
See the answer for more details.
UPDATED: If you need to use JSON.stringify
additionally inside of serializeGridData
then you can't use more the simplest version of serializeGridData
:
serializeGridData: function (postData) { return return JSON.stringify(postData); }
Instead of that you should use a little more complex version of serializeGridData
which I described in the answer:
serializeGridData: function (postData) {
var propertyName, propertyValue, dataToSend = {};
for (propertyName in postData) {
if (postData.hasOwnProperty(propertyName)) {
propertyValue = postData[propertyName];
if ($.isFunction(propertyValue)) {
dataToSend[propertyName] = propertyValue(); // call the function
} else {
dataToSend[propertyName] = propertyValue;
}
}
}
return JSON.stringify(dataToSend);
}
