Hello markm123,
You can try using a custom textarea cell editor. Here is how to configure such an editor for one column:
columns: [{
text: 'First Name',
columntype: 'template',
datafield: 'firstname',
width: 80,
createeditor: function(row, cellvalue, editor, cellText, width, height) {
var textareaElement = $('<textarea></textarea>').prependTo(editor);
textareaElement.css({
width: width,
height: height
});
},
initeditor: function(row, cellvalue, editor, celltext, pressedkey) {
var textarea = editor.find('textarea');
textarea.val(cellvalue);
},
geteditorvalue: function(row, cellvalue, editor) {
return editor.find('textarea').val();
}
},
...
