RE: Validating the element which is opened while editing a c


Hi,



Thanks for your response.



I have tried the same thing in my code also. Its working. Again thanks for your great help.



The important thing which I forgot to furnish in my last post is, Is it possible to get the handle/instance of the text area element to retain the focus on it till user enters alteast  one character in the text area?



Also, I want to restrict the number of characters entered in the text area. So I think it would be great for me, if the instance of the text area is available in while the text area losses its focus/ wwhen TAB key is pressed.



Can we get the textarea instance in the following block.



if ((stage==2)&&(newValue=="")) {//if editor is closed and newValue is empty



alert(“value is empty”);



}



}



 



 



 


You can use the following code:


function doOnEditCell(stage,rowId,cellInd,newValue,oldValue){


if ((stage==2)&&(newValue=="")){
window.setTimeout(function(){
mygrid.selectCell(mygrid.getRowIndex(rowId),cellInd);
mygrid.editCell();
},1);
}
return true;
}
