skip to Main Content

I am using jQuery grid to create a table online.
I want to add bold and italics to some text in one of my cells and I also want to show the ellipsis if the content is too much.

The current cell content is:

[Mary Doe] :- Can this be done soon?

And I want it to be displayed as:

[Mary Doe] :– Can this be done soon?

Further if the content exceeds I want it to be concatenated by ellipsis.

Here is link to jsfiddle if you want to use that:

var Data = [{"identification":"2001","created_date":"2017-09-25 05:48:50","quantity":1,"summary":"Require to rebuild","product":"D245","loc":"SG","assignee":"Hello World","requestor":"John Doe","status":"Requested","comments":"[Hello World] :- We do not have sufficient quantity","priority":"High","comment_on":"2017-09-26 05:00:18"},
{"identification":"2002","created_date":"2017-09-25 05:48:50","quantity":5,"summary":"Require to paint","product":"A205","loc":"MY","assignee":"Bye World","requestor":"Mary Doe","status":"In Progress","comments":"[Mary Doe] :- Can this be done soon?","priority":"High","comment_on":"2017-09-26 05:00:18"}
];

$(function () {
    "use strict";
    $("#grid").jqGrid({
      colNames:['ID','Comment','identification','Priority', 'Qnty', 'Summary', 'Product','Location','Assignee','Status'],
        colModel: [
            {name:'auto_id', key: true, width:18, hidden: true},
            {name: "comments"},
            { name: "identification",search:true, formatter: 'dynamicLink'},
            { name: "priority"},
            { name: "quantity" },
            { name: "summary" },
            { name: "product" },
            { name: "loc" },
            { name: "assignee" },
            {name: "status"}],
            data: Data,
            rowNum:20,
            rowList:[20,40,60],
            loadonce: true,
            toppager: '#pager2',
            autowidth : true,
            gridview: true,
            height: "auto",
            ignoreCase: true,
            viewrecords: true,
            caption:"A Table"      
    });

  1. <td>[Mary Doe] :- Can this be done soon?</td> can be changed to <td><strong>[Mary Doe] :-</strong> Can this be done soon?</td>, or replace ‘strong’ with ‘b’.

    As for ellipsis, see this css property, text-overflow: ellipsis;

  2. You have many options to implement your requirements. For example you can add text-overflow: ellipsis rule on all cells of jqGrid:

    .ui-jqgrid tr.jqgrow td {
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        -o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
    }
    

    see https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/jo1qrysq/3/

    You can define CSS rule like

    .ui-jqgrid tr.jqgrow td.myellipsis {
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        -o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
    }
    

    and to use classes: "myellipsis" property in some columns of jqGrid. See https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/jo1qrysq/5/

    You use free jqGrid work, which supports autoresizing of columns based on the width of content. You can use the settings like

    autowidth : true,
    autoresizeOnLoad: true,
    cmTemplate: { autoResizable: true },
    autoResizing: { compact: true, resetWidthOrg: true },
    

    see https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/jo1qrysq/8/

    You can combine different approaches. See https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/jo1qrysq/6/ and https://jsfiddle.net/OlegKi/jo1qrysq/7/
