[Solved] Add Hidden Field to Grid

[mvcuser]

Hi,

In a Grid, i'd like to add a hidden column with the ID value to each row which I can then click on and call JSON to retrieve data for a specific row. It works fine when the column is visible but I couldn't find a way to hide that column from the user? Tried using .Visible(false) but that completely removes it. Also tried to make the column style hidden BUT it still shows the column heading ID etc.

Need to retrieve the value using:
var someID = this.cells[0].innerHTML;

Thanks!

Hello mvcuser,

This is currently not possible without using some JavaScript. Please check this forum thread for the required code.

Solution:

- Make the ID column the last column in the Grid then do the following, don't forget .Width(0):

columns.Add(c => c.Id).Width(0).HeaderHtmlAttributes(new {style="display:none"}).HtmlAttributes(new {style="display:none"});

Hi mvcuser,
That's the best work around so far. It works perfect in IE and Firefox. However, in Opera and Chrome, the last column still shows although it is blank. The width of the last column could not be 0. Can someone find a work around for this problem? Thanks.
