Thanks for the reply, I did look at this demo, but I was never able to get the validation function called. Let me provide a little background: We have a jqxgrid with jqx widgets, checkboxes, textfields and dropdowns populating the cells. The validation needs to occurs on the values and selections in these widgets when the widget loses focus. I call begincelledit on the cell when a widget gets focus, but when the widget loses focus, the validation function is not called. I’ve taken that to mean that the grid does not ‘see’ the focus being lost, since focus is on the widget, not the cell itself, therefore, the validation function is not called. That’s why I tried manual validation. This works, but it requires a form, which we don’t need but it its required, we’ll have to work with it.
Thanks again.
