jqGrid cellattr title ignores text after white spaces

Question

I have colmodel in jqgrid which has 'name' and 'description' columns and i need to show the description as tooltip while hovering over the 'name' column.

Say i have this model for eg :

colModel: [
    {
        name: "name",..
        cellattr: function (rowId, val, rawObject, cm, rdata) {
            return 'title=' + rawObject[1];
        }
    },
    {name : "description",..},
],

the data is rendered as tooltip but if i have description as "Low Level Standard" , the tooltip is "Low".

Ideally it ignores all text after white space.

How do i fix this? I am new to jqGrid. Pls explain in detail if possible Thanks

Answer 1

You should start returned value with space. The exact format of rawObject can depend on many things: in which format you fill the grid data. So you should verify whether you should use index like rawObject[1] or the name like rawObject.description. So the solution could be like

cellattr: function (rowId, val, rawObject) {
    return ' title="' + rawObject[1] + '"';
}

or like

cellattr: function (rowId, val, rawObject) {
    return ' title="' + rawObject.description '"';
}

depend on the format of the data which you use (and so from the frormat of rawObject). I added " to the title.

By the way like you could see I removed cm, rdata from the callback because we don't use there.
