[Solved] client side event editItem(index) causes full page postback

[Thomas Salt]

Like the title says, when using the client side method MasterTableView.editItems(index) there is a full page postback.  Is this the expected behavior of the method or is there a way to show the edit form without hitting the server so there is not a full page post back?

Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

I tried the scenario and found that postback occurs in my case also. I guess this is the normal behavior, i.e, the editItem method is used to  actually invoke the server side edit command from client side code.
One suggestion to avoid the page refresh, is to ajaxify the grid using AJAX Manager/AJAX Panel.

Hmmm..I know I could have used the ajax manager/panels.  I guess I was just a bit confused as to why this client side event even exists then.
