I was using an iframe to show the details of a selected row from jqgrid. Which worked. However I realized that it is a pain to get iframe to recognize parent size so resizing produces an awkward looking form. I came across web2py LOAD helper and thought it to be a good fix to my frame resizing issue.
I'm trying to change a LOAD(form) based on the row_id from a selected row in jqgrid. Using the jqgrid event onSelectRow I'm trying to trigger web2py_component to reload the form. I came up with a test link to update the form, which worked. <a href="#" onclick="web2py_component('{{=URL(...)}}','my_form');">Load Page 3</a> {{=LOAD('default','a_form/1',ajax=True,target='my_form')}} If possible I would like to get jqgrid to trigger the same web2py_component feature. My latest failed attempt was something like jQuery(document.ready(function(){ onSelectRow: function() { jQuery("#my_form").trigger('web2py_component',['/Test/default/ a_form/'+(postdata),'my_form']);} ;}) Is it possible to trigger web2py_component function or LOAD helper without an action input (button or link)?
