Ahh makes sense now. Your grid is perfect for my project but I must have hover events. Basically as the user hovers over the cells in a particular column we need to trigger a tooltip specific to that cell. The text of the tip needs to be constructed from the data in the row of the cell he is hovering over (including data in hidden columns.) I have researched a dozen or more grids looking for other specific features. Yours is the only one that meets ALL our criteria except for the hover/tooltip capability. 🙁
I’m confused. What does “Hover event is built-in, but there is no event in the API” mean? If there is a hover event built-in what does it do? How can I gain access to it if there is no corresponding event in the API?
Is there any way to work around this? I would think most jq grid products have some mouse events. Even the very lightweight “flexigrid” has mouseover functionality. Can a standard $jquery mouseover event be associated with (bound to) a cell?
