jqGrid—setGridWidth function
I suppose that you set $.jgrid.no_legacy_api = true;
like I did in my last demos.
The "standard" (legacy API) code of jqGrid set many method extensions of jQuery. It's dangerous in case of usage many other jQuery Plugins. The probability to have name conflicts are increased. So it's recommended to use "new style" jqGrid API. In case of setGridWidth
method you should use
$("#jqGridElement").jqGrid('setGridWidth', 600);
instead of
$("#jqGridElement").setGridWidth(600);
One small general remark: I recommend you to define gridObj
as
var gridObj = $("#jqGridElement");
gridObj.jqGrid({ datastr: tableSrc,...
instead of
var gridObj = $("#jqGridElement").jqGrid({ datastr: tableSrc,...
The advantage is that the value of gridObj
will be set before the call of $("#jqGridElement").jqGrid
and you can use safe gridObj
inside of any jqGrid
event. For example you can use gridObj
variable inside of loadComplete
event. In case of usage in the way like you use it now the gridObj
variable can be undefined
at the first usage of loadComplete
event.

I'm trying to call jqGrid's setGridWidth function, but I'm getting the error:
Object [object Object] has no method 'setGridWidth'
I'm sure this is something stupid. Here's the code to display the grid (which is fine) and then try to resize it.
$("#jqGridElement").jqGrid({ datastr: tableSrc, jsonReader: { repeatitems: false }, datatype: "jsonstring", colNames: ['title', 'subtitle'], colModel: [ { name: 'title', index: 'title', width: 55 }, { name: 'subtitle', index: 'subtitle'}], height: 'auto', gridview: true }); $("#jqGridElement").setGridWidth(600);'
EDIT
I've also tried:
var gridObj = $("#jqGridElement").jqGrid({ datastr: tableSrc, ....... gridObj.setGridWidth(300);
Same result
