Jquery JQGrid - How to set alignment of grid header cells?

Is it possible to align grid column headers in jqgrid? eg align left right or center?

In the jqrid documents http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:colmodel_options it says:

align: Defines the alignment of the cell in the Body layer, not in header cell. 
Possible values: left, center, right.

Note that it says "not in the header cell". How can I do this for the header cell (grid title cell)? The documentation fails to mention this little detail....

You can simply add the align attribute to your Column in ColModel:

colModel: [
          {name: 'MyColumn', index: 'MyColumn', align: 'center'}
      ],

While using the 'setLabel' method seems feasible, I always want to have my header-cells aligned the same way as the cells. So I just use this function:

function pimpHeader(gridObj) {
    var cm = gridObj.jqGrid("getGridParam", "colModel");
    for (var i=0;i<cm.length;i++) {
        gridObj.jqGrid('setLabel', cm[i].name, '', 
            {'text-align': (cm[i].align || 'left')}, 
            (cm[i].titletext ? {'title': cm[i].titletext} : {}));
    }
}

This uses the alignment of the cells to align the header. To be called like this:

pimpHeader(jQuery("#grid"));

If you want, you can extend your Column-Model with 'titletext', which is shown as a tooltip-header, like so:

colModel: [{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', align: 'right', titletext: 'Name-Tooltip'}, ...]

see the source to find out the css that your grid refer to and then you can try this:

setTimeout(function(){
   jQuery('.ui-th-column').css('text-align','center');
},1);

Please try this 

loadBeforeSend: function () {
    $(this).closest("div.ui-jqgrid-view").find("table.ui-jqgrid-htable>thead>tr>th").css("text-align", "left");
}

The best documented way to change column header alignment is the usage of setLabel method of jqGrid (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:methods).

You can change alignment of the column identified by 'name': 'Name' with the following code:

grid.jqGrid ('setLabel', 'Name', '', {'text-align':'right'});

With the code 

grid.jqGrid ('setLabel', 'Name', 'Product Name', {'text-align':'right'},
             {'title':'My ToolTip for the product name column header'});

you can change the header name to 'Product Name' and set 'My ToolTip for the product name column header' as a tool tip for the corresponding column header.

You can also define some classes in your CSS and set it for the column headers also with respect of setLabel method.

By the way the name of the function 'setLabel' is choosed because you can not define colNames parameter of the jqGrid, but use additional 'label' option in the colModel to define a column header other as the 'name' value.

UPDATED: You can do able to use classes to define 'text-align' or 'padding'. Just try following

.textalignright { text-align:right !important; }
.textalignleft { text-align:left  !important; }
.textalignright div { padding-right: 5px; }
.textalignleft div { padding-left: 5px; }

and

grid.jqGrid ('setLabel', 'Name', '', 'textalignright');
grid.jqGrid ('setLabel', 'Description', '', 'textalignleft');

(I defined 5px as the padding to see results better. You can choose the padding value which you will find better in your case).

Just go to your css file of your jqgrid.

Look for:

ui-th-column,.ui-jqgrid .ui-jqgrid-htable th.ui-th-column
{overflow:hidden;white-space:nowrap;text-align:center; ...

And change the text-align.

I didn't find it eather with regular options.

I hope this will help you.
