Question

When I apply style class myAltRowClassto change alternate colors for jqgrid odd even row. left, right and bottom borders are in black color.

I want to apply odd even row color for all jqgrids through css

The grid looks like below screenshot.

When used below code in loadComplete function this problem is not occurred

$("tr.jqgrow:odd").css("background", "#E0E0E0");

jqgrid looks like below screenshot.

Css Class

.myAltRowClass {
    background: #E0E0E0;
}

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
            //jqGrid
            $("#usersList").jqGrid({
                url:'<%=request.getContextPath() %>/Admin/getAllUsersList',
                datatype: "json",               
                colNames:['Edit','First Name','Middle Name','LastName','Mobile Number','Active'],
                colModel:[
                    {name:'userId',search:false,index:'userId',width:30,sortable: false,formatter: editLink},                       
                    {name:'firstName',index:'firstName', width:100},
                    {name:'middleName',index:'middleName', width:100},
                    {name:'lastName',index:'lastName', width:100},
                    {name:'mobileNo',index:'user.mobileNo', width:100},
                    {name:'isActive',index:'user.isActive',width:80},
                    ],
                    rowNum:20,
                    rowList:[10,20,30,40,50],
                    rownumbers: true,  
                    pager: '#pagerDiv',
                    sortname: 'user.primaryEmail',  
                    viewrecords: true,  
                    sortorder: "asc",

                    loadComplete: function() {
                        //$("tr.jqgrow:odd").css("background", "#E0E0E0");

                        $("tr.jqgrow:odd").addClass('myAltRowClass');
                    },

            });
            $('#gridContainer div:not(.ui-jqgrid-titlebar)').width("100%");
            $('.ui-jqgrid-bdiv').css('height', window.innerHeight * .65);
            $('#load_usersList').width("130");
            $("#usersList").jqGrid('navGrid','#pagerDiv',{edit:false,add:false,del:false},{},{},{}, {closeAfterSearch:true});
            $(".inline").colorbox({inline:true, width:"20%"});
        });

        function editLink(cellValue, options, rowdata, action)
        {
            return "<a href='<%=request.getContextPath()%>/Admin/editUser/" + rowdata.userId + "' class='ui-icon ui-icon-pencil' ></a>";
        }

Answer 1

The demo demonstrates how to define CSS rules and set the rules to odd and even rows of the grid. The code used in the demo

loadComplete: function () {
    $(this).find(">tbody>tr.jqgrow:odd").addClass("myAltRowClassEven");
    $(this).find(">tbody>tr.jqgrow:even").addClass("myAltRowClassOdd");
}

It's important to understand that jqGrid use first hidden row in the grid to set the column widths. So one have to use jQuery :even selector to set class on odd rows and one have to use :odd selector to set class on even rows.

The CSS rules which I used in the demo are the following

.myAltRowClassEven { background: #E0E0E0; border-color: #79B7E7; color: Tomato; }
.myAltRowClassOdd { background: DarkOrange; }
.ui-state-hover.myAltRowClassEven { color: Magenta; }
.ui-state-hover.myAltRowClassOdd { color: RoyalBlue; }
.ui-state-highlight.myAltRowClassEven { color: PaleGreen; }
.ui-state-highlight.myAltRowClassOdd { color: Sienna; }

As the result one get very multicolored picture like with different colors or background colors for odd/even/hovered/selected rows:

The colors looks terrible. I wanted just demonstrates how one customize there.
