"hideCol" command hides the column, but also hide it from edit form

Question

I have a grid that shows data from a "users" table. In that grid I don't want to show some fields such as "password", so I have hidden them from the grid, but the problem is that they also get hidden from the form and of course I need the user to be able to set it.

Any way to solve this?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use edithidden: true property of editrules.

Answer 2

Use a context selector

$('.password', $('#grid')).hide();

So if all your password fields have a class called password , then using the context makes sure only the elements with the class will be searched inside the context will be hidden , and the one's in the form will not.
