I am a javascipt and jquery novice and would appreciate some information to help me understand how to use a jqgrid-plugin.
My questions are overlapping in some cases. 1. How does jqgrid communicate with the backend database? 2. Do I have to put special mechanisms in place to make sure that changes in an editable grid end up in the database? 3. At what stage does this communication with the database take place (I mean sending information back to the database). 4. How do I send a selection from the database to the grid? At the moment the documentation on the available web2py jqgrid plugins is not clear to me about this. 5. How do I specify a specific cell to be editable or not? 6. Overlapping with some earlier questions: How do I submit changes to a grid? 7. How do I check for valid input in a cell?
