Hi all,

This is for all you jqGrid users. I appended a new button to the nav bar to open an alternate search dialog using:

function setFilterByCustomer(grid){ $('#'+grid+'_toppager_left').append("<input id='FilterByCustomer' type='button' value='Filter By Customer' style='height:22px; margin-left:5px;'/>"); $('#'+grid+'_toppager_left input#FilterByCustomer').click( function(){ $(grid).jqGrid ('searchGrid', {multipleSearch:true}); }); }

All i want to do is have the search dialog pop up with a specific column and operator pre-selected. However, there does not appear to be any option with the searchGrid method that allow for defining a specific column or operator as selected.

Is there another way to select a specific column and operator in the search dialog before or after it opens?

thanks
