When I use $('#mygrid').jqGrid('GridUnload'); my grid is destroyed: no pager/ no header.
In a wiki I found:
The only difference to previous method is that the grid is destroyed, but the
table element and pager (if any) are left ready to be used again.
I can't find any difference between GridUnload/ GridDestroy or do I something wrong?
I use jqGrid 3.8.
To be able to create jqGrid on the page you have to insert an empty <table> element on the place of the page where you want see the grid. The simplest example of the table element is <table id="mygrid"></table>.
The empty <table> element itself will be not seen on the page till you call $('#mygrid').jqGrid({...}) and the grid elements like column headers will be created.
The method GridDestroy works like jQuery.remove. It deletes all elements which belong to the grid inclusve the <table> element.
The method GridUnload on the other hand delete all, but the empty <table> element stay on the page. So you are able to create new grid on the same place. The method GridUnload is very usefull if you need create on one place different grids depend on different conditions. Look at the old answer with the demo. The demo shows how two different grids can by dynamically created on the same place. If you would be just replace GridUnload in the code to GridDestroy the demo will be not work: after destroying of the first grid no other grids will be created on the same place.
In addition to Oleg's answer I would like to point out that GridUnload does a little more that just remove the grid from the table. It removes the original HTML table element(and the pager), and ads an identical one in its place(at least in 4.5.4 it does).
This means that if you attached some event handlers to the table HTML element(i.e with jquery on, like ('#gridID').on('event','selector',handler)) they will also be removed. Consiquently the events will not fire on the new grid if you replace the old grid with a new one...
Oleg's answer works fine for me as long as I have no Group headers.
When I add group header row with 'setGroupHeaders'
the results of a 'GridUnload' followed by a $('#mygrid').jqGrid({...}) are not consistent.
It works fine in Chrome but not in IE11.
In IE11, each 'jqg-third-row-header' item ends up rendered on different rows (diagonally).
I am using free-jqGrid:query.jqgrid.src.js version 4.13.4 for debugging.
I traced the problem down to code, in this file, that begins with line 9936:
if (o.useColSpanStyle) {
// Increase the height of resizing span of visible headers
$htable.find("span.ui-jqgrid-resize").each(function () {
var $parent = $(this).parent();
if ($parent.is(":visible")) {
this.style.cssText = "height:" + $parent.height() + "px !important; cursor:col-resize;";
//this.style.cssText = "height:" + $parent.css('line-height'); + "px !important;cursor:col-resize;";
}
});
// Set position of the sortable div (the main lable)
// with the column header text to the middle of the cell.
// One should not do this for hidden headers.
$htable.find(".ui-th-column>div").each(function () {
var $ts = $(this), $parent = $ts.parent();
if ($parent.is(":visible") && $parent.is(":has(span.ui-jqgrid-resize)") && !($ts.hasClass("ui-jqgrid-rotate") || $ts.hasClass("ui-jqgrid-rotateOldIE"))) {
// !!! it seems be wrong now
$ts.css("top", ($parent.height() - $ts.outerHeight(true)) / 2 + "px");
// $ts.css("top", ($parent.css('line-height') - $ts.css('line-height')) / 2 + "px");
}
});
}
$(ts).triggerHandler("jqGridAfterSetGroupHeaders");
});
This code sets the height and top css values related to each 'jqg-third-row-header' item. This leads to a tall and diagonal layout of the 'jqg-third-row-header'
Potential Bug:.
The $parent.height() and $ts.height() methods, above, return the former jqGrid table height in IE11. In Chrome they return the 'th' computed height(top = 0).
I added and tested the 2 commented lines that use line-height.
IE11 works fine when line-height is used.
I do not completely understand the JqGrid resize logic, so this may not be a fix.
Alternate Solution:
If you specify.
colModel:
{
label: 'D',
name: 'W',
width: 6,
align: 'center',
resizable:false //required for IE11 multiple calls to this init()
},
When resizable is false the code above is not encountered and the height and top are not set.
Oleg's jqGrid is a very nice control. Perhaps he can test his demo grid with a groupheader on IE11.

I'm using JQuery to filter a table (calling tr.hide() on non-matching rows). The table resides within a scrollable div. The problem: unfortunately, on filtering the list, the user loses his/her scroll position every time.
Is there a clean way to
obtain the top row of the current view port before scrolling
scroll to the very same row if it is still visible after filtering
or, if the row is no longer visible, scroll to the closest neighbor row (above or below), which is still visible
just add an anchor in the row you want to keep and go to this anchor after you filtered
Although it say's experimental, there is the element.scrollIntoView. It does seem to be supported by most major browsers. And you could always polyfill for those that don't.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView#Browser_compatibility
It would look something like this. I don't use jQuery enough to use it in my example, so I will leave that is an exercise for the reader.
var rowToScrollTo = null;
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
{
// Find the first visible row.
if (rows[i].offsetTop > scrollableDiv.scrollTop && shouldBeVisible(rows[i]))
{
rowToScrollTo = rows[i];
break;
}
}
// Show/hide rows
scrollableDiv.scrollTop = rowToScrollTo.offsetTop;
DataTables allows you to create "complex headers" (which entails spanning multiple columns or rows). The Responsive plugin is compatible with this if you add some extra CSS as per the documentation.
Here is a working fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/hmr9qtx3/1/
As you can see, resizing the rendered output frame correctly removes the <th> tags from the row. This is with versions 1.10.1 of DataTables and 1.0.0 of Responsive.
The most current DataTables build is 1.10.12, and the version of Responsive it comes packaged with is 2.1.0. Here is an identical fiddle with those versions swapped out: https://jsfiddle.net/hmr9qtx3/
Between the working and non-working version numbers, usage of datatables and the responsive plugin is identical.
You will notice that the responsive plugin functions correctly for the non-spanning table headers and the body of the table. However, the spanning headers are not removed from the DOM when the page is resized enough that they would add a scrollbar/overflow.
How can I fix or patch my code so the spanning headers are responsive like in the working fiddle? I'd prefer to not use older versions of the plugins.
Complex headers are not supported with Responsive plug-in 2.0, see this thread or this issue #59.
As a workaround you can continue using Responsive plugin 1.0 with the most recent version of jQuery DataTables.
Per author's post:
Unfortunately yes, this is a limitation in Responsive 2.0. (...) The plan is to resolve it for 2.1. (...) The only option at the moment is to roll back to Responsive 1.x I'm afraid.
Although you're using v2.1.0, maybe it wasn't yet added because issue #59 on GitHub remains open.
I created a hot fix on the fly for this issue for the responsive plugin.
Issue: (last column disappears)
DataTables 1.10.13 hot-fix → datatables.responsive v2.1.1
Adds responsive support to datatables.net Complex Headers
This hot-fix works perfectly well on my page where I have different types of datatables,
but nevertheless, be careful with this patch as it is not tested with all possible dt features/types.
Here is a working demo: jsBin-Demo
_setColumnVis: function (col, showHide) {
var dt = this.s.dt;
var display = showHide ? '' : 'none'; // empty string will remove the attr
$(dt.column(col).header()).css('display', display);
$(dt.column(col).footer()).css('display', display);
dt.column(col).nodes().to$().css('display', display);
var parentrow = $(dt.column(col).header()).parent().prev("tr");
var visibleSiblingCount = $(dt.column(col).header()).siblings("th").filter(function (idx, el) {
return $(el).is(":visible");
}).length;
if (parentrow.length > 0 && visibleSiblingCount != 1) {
if (parentrow.find("th:nth-child(" + col + ")").attr("rowspan") == 1) {
parentrow.find("th:nth-child(" + col + ")").css('display', display);
} else {
parentrow.find("th:nth-child(" + (col + 1) + ")").css('display', display);
}
}
},
A clean solution which works well is to add a duplicate, empty row of zero-height columns before the complex header row, followed by the actual row of columns.
<thead>
<tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr>
<tr><th colspan="2">Complex!</th><th>yeah</th></tr>
<tr><th>One</th><th>Two</th><th>Three</th></tr>
</thead>
This is because FixedHeader targets the first row it finds in thead for sizing. If you size the dummy row correctly, all the others will follow.
I prefer this solution before there is an official fix because it doesn't require us to maintain a patched version of FixedHeader, and when an official fix is released would degrade gracefully and be removable at our leisure.
This function counts the number of visible columns. Then loops through the headers to make them match. I hope this helps as a patch for someone until Responsive is updated. You will have to put this inside of a document load and window resize function.
function makeColumnsResponsive() {
const visibleColumnCount = $('tbody tr:first-child td:visible').length - 1;
$('thead tr th').show();
for (let i = 1; i <= $('thead tr').length; i++) {
$('thead tr:nth-child(' + i + ') th:gt(' + visibleColumnCount + ')').hide();
}
}
I have, for example, 3 rows from a table. Each of the rows gets its content from a database. By default when the row is collapsed, the text should be shortened -
trs[i].innerText = trs[i].innerText.substring(0,25) + '...';
When a user clicks on the div it expands, and if clicked again - collapses.
if(tr.style.height == "150px")
{
tr.style.height = "20px";
}
else {
tr.style.height = "150px";
}
So far, so good, but I want the text to be shortened only if the div is collapsed. With my solution when the page loads the text is shortened, but when the row is expanded it remains shortened. How can I fix this? I can only think of when the row expands to call an AJAX function which returns the original data, but I don't think it's the best possible way. Thanks in advance.
First you'd have to store the full text before shortening it.
trs[i].fullText = trs[i].innerText;
trs[i].innerText = trs[i].innerText.substring(0,25) + '...';
Then you can restore it in the handler:
tr.innerText = tr.fullText;
tr.style.height = "150px";
Here's a jsFiddle. I'm using jQuery to select the elements, but you already have the correct tr's anyway. If you were using jQuery you could also use $(tr).data("fullText", $(tr).text()) which avoids some minor memory leaks with adding properties to DOM elements in old versions of Internet Explorer.
Whilst this does use some of the code from a question I asked yesterday (Dynamically check / uncheck checkboxes in a tree), I feel that this is a slightly different question as I need to add in clearing divs and also slide data in the tree up and down.
I've taken what I learnt yesterday and added in a slider as per this link - http://jsfiddle.net/3V4hg/ - but now I've added clearing divs the tree is not unchecking all the way to the top if the bottom of the tree has no options selected. If you look at the JSFiddle, if you check A and/or B then uncheck it, the parent and grandparent do not uncheck automatically. Also, for some reason that I haven't figured out yet - the slider decides to slide upon clicking the checkbox in the child area (I've also noticed that the toggle image for the region area to display changes when the continent one toggles - haven't tried to solve that as just noticed when adding to JSFiddle).
I'm also thinking that there may be a better way to code the togglers/sliders (since used by more than one kind of toggle, but I'm unsure).
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3V4hg/2/
I have applied some modifications to your code. Have a look at the fiddle and comments (at the code, and at the bottom of the answer):
$('#delivery_zones :checkbox').change(function(){
$(this).siblings('ul').find(':checkbox').prop('checked', this.checked);
if(this.checked){
$(this).parentsUntil('#delivery_zones', 'ul').siblings(':checkbox').prop('checked', true);
} else {
$(this).parentsUntil('#delivery_zones', 'ul').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
var childSelected = $this.find(':checkbox:checked').length;
if(!childSelected){
// Using `prevAll` and `:first` to get the closest previous checkbox
$this.prevAll(':checkbox:first').prop('checked', false);
}
});
}
});
// collapse countries and counties onload
$(".country_wrap").hide();
$(".county_wrap").hide();
// Merged two click handlers
$("#delivery_zones").click(function(event){
var root = event.target; // Get the target of the element
if($.nodeName(root, 'input')) return; // Ignore input
else if(!$.nodeName(root, 'li')) {
root = $(root).parents('li').eq(0); // Get closest <li>
}
// Define references to <img>
var img = $('.toggle img', root).eq(0);
// Define reference to one of the wrap elements *
var c_wrap = $('.country_wrap, .county_wrap', root).eq(0);
if(img.attr('src') == "http://uk.primadonna.eu/images/arrow_white_up.gif"){
img.attr('src', 'http://www.prbuzzer.com/images/downarrow-white.png');
c_wrap.slideUp("slow");
} else {
img.attr('src', 'http://uk.primadonna.eu/images/arrow_white_up.gif');
c_wrap.slideDown("slow");
}
});
* I have defined the root to be a <li> element. The first occurrence of the .count(r)y_wrap element should be selected, which is achieved using .eq(0).
Your previous code contained some logical errors, which I have also fixed: $('.toggle img', this) selects every <img> element which is a child of .toggle, which caused the arrows at the end of the tree to toggle too. My solution using event.target is more neater, and allows your example to be extended to even deeper trees.
Is it possible to select the text (i.e. have it highlighted so that it can be copy+pasted) of every cell in one vertical column of an HTML table.
Is there a JavaScript method, or perhaps an equivalent in some browsers to the Alt-Click-Drag shortcut used in many text editors?
Or is this impossible?
What you're looking for is called Range object (TextRange in IE).
Update:
Here's a working code to do what you're suggesting: http://jsfiddle.net/4BwGG/3/
While capturing cell contents, you can format them in any manner you wish. I'm simply appending a new line every time.
Note:
Works fine in FF 3 and above
IE (before 9) and Chrome do not support multiple selection.
Chrome doesn't highlight all cells (but captures all content). Same goes for IE9
IE 7 & 8 will throw an error.
An alternative is apply a CSS style that simulates highlighting on click of column header and loop through all cells to capture their content. Look and feel of this approach may differ from native selection's look (unless you somehow capture select event and alter the appearnce).
Then use jQuery copy plugin to copy them to clipboard.
Some code review tools implement this to allow copying & pasting code from one side of a side-by-side diff. I looked into how ReviewBoard pulls it off.
The gist is:
When a column selection begins, style the cells in all other columns with user-select: none (and its prefixed variants, if necessary). This creates the appearance of a column selection. The other columns are still secretly selected, so you have to...
Intercept the copy event and change its payload to reflect the contents of the selected column.
The ReviewBoard code to do this consists of this CSS and this JavaScript.
I pulled it out into a fairly minimal jsbin demo.
Here's the CSS to create the appearance of a single-column selection (you add the selecting-left class to the table when the left column is being selected, or selecting-right for the right):
.selecting-left td.right,
.selecting-left td.right *,
.selecting-right td.left,
.selecting-right td.left *,
user-select: none;
}
.selecting-left td.right::selection,
.selecting-left td.right *::selection,
.selecting-right td.left::selection,
.selecting-right td.left *::selection,
background: transparent;
}
Here's the JavaScript to intercept the copy event and plug in a single column's worth of data:
tableEl.addEventListener('copy', function(e) {
var clipboardData = e.clipboardData;
var text = getSelectedText();
clipboardData.setData('text', text);
e.preventDefault();
});
function getSelectedText() {
var sel = window.getSelection(),
range = sel.getRangeAt(0),
doc = range.cloneContents(),
nodes = doc.querySelectorAll('tr'),
text = '';
var idx = selectedColumnIdx; // 0 for left, 1 for right
if (nodes.length === 0) {
text = doc.textContent;
} else {
[].forEach.call(nodes, function(tr, i) {
var td = tr.cells[tr.cells.length == 1 ? 0 : idx];
text += (i ? '\n' : '') + td.textContent;
});
}
return text;
}
There's also some less interesting code to add the selecting-left and selecting-right classes at the start of a selection. This would require a bit more work to generalize to n-column tables.
This seems to work well in practice, but it's surprising how hard it is!
Here is a hack that doesn't involve javascript at all:
Step 1: open the inspector
For Chrome on mac, press command + option + J.
Step 2: select a random cell using the selector tool
For Chrome on mac, click the selector icon on the top left corner of the inspector to enter the selector mode.
Then click a random cell in the table.
Step 3: hide all cells by editing CSS
Click the New Style Rule button (see image below)
then enter this rule (you may want to modify it a little bit depending on your HTML)
tr td {
display: none; # hide all cells
}
Now all cells should have disappeared.
Step 4: display only the column that you want by editing CSS
Go ahead and add another rule above that one:
tr td:nth-child(2) { # replace 2 with the index of the column you want to copy. 2 means the second column
display: table-cell; # display that column
}
Now the column you want to copy from should have reappeared.
All the other columns should be invisible and can't be selected.
Step 5: just copy that column!
Note
You can restore the page by refreshing.
I find this work perfectly if you just want to select one column or two.
You could have a div which gets populated with the column data on click and apply a css class to give the columns the appearence of being selected
something like this:
var $mytable = $("#mytable"),
$copydiv = $("#copy_div");
$mytable.find("td").click(function(){
//get the column index
var $this = $(this),
index = $this.parent().children().index($this);
//find all cells in the same column
$mytable.find("tr:nth-child(" + index + ")").removeClass("selected").each(function () {
var $this = $(this);
$this.addClass("selected");
$copydiv.html($this.html() + "<br />");
});
});
or you could have a separate table for each column, but I don't think that would be worth it.
WIP: CSS only solution using :has() selector
The new :has() selector gave me hope in solving this issue without JS. The idea was to disable text selection for all cells, and only activate it for cells of a column that is hovered.
So you would have rule like this:
table:has(tr td:nth-child(1):hover) tr td:nth-child(1) {
-webkit-user-select: auto;
user-select: auto;
}
A complete sample can be found here: https://codepen.io/catlan/pen/XWELegW
This is work in progress, because in the current version of Safari (15.6.1), the display of the text range disappears after the selection is done, only to reappear after moving the cursor for a few pixel. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244445
It seems to work fine in Chrome starting with Version 105.
