Hello,

If you wish to select a row in master grid programmatically, you can have this code:

$('#list1').jqGrid('setSelection', rowid, true);

Here rowid and list1 are to be replaced with you row to be selected id, and your grid id.

This will reload the detail grid.

If your master grid have multiple selection enabled, all the selected row ids are passed to detail grid in querystring parameters. So when fetching the data in detail grid, you can use those ids in the select query of detail grid, e.g. SELECT…. WHERE parent_ids IN ( $ids )

If you have any issue in implementing this, You can share your code and screenshot to explain further and I’ll suggest the changes.

Hi Abu,

Thanks as always for the response.

I tried the above and it does not seem to work. The row selection is made but the detail table is not updated. So I tried to force a click using a document.getElementById(“23456”).click() where 23456 is the row id. The trouble is that if I place this in the function called when loading complete on the master grid, it seems too early for the detail grid to load, i.e. nothing happens. if I invoke the click in the function called when loading complete on the detail grid, it cycles around since the click in master causes the detail to refresh causing another click, etc.

Thanks in advance

Gary
