How to achieve edit and delete on jqgrid? - jqgrid

Question

Below is my JQGrid code which is working fine for loading of grid, paging and sorting.
Now, I need to add - Edit and Delete functionality.
I found on google, to enable "edit" and "delete" option in navbar but,
I want it as like ---- User click on "a href" link and it should call javascritp function along with rowID . Can you guide me , how can i add hyper link and on click of it allow to call functino ?
$('#CategoriesGrdList').jqGrid({
ajaxGridOptions: {
error: function () {
$('#CategoriesGrdList')[0].grid.hDiv.loading = false;
alert('An error has occurred.');
}
},
url: '#Url.Action("GetAllCategoriesList", "Categories")/' + 0,
gridview: true,
autoencode: true,
//public JsonResult GetEnrolls(int adClassSchedID,DateTime attendanceDate,int adProgramID,int syCampusID)
postData: { categoryId: 1 },
//postData: { categoryId: rowID, attendanceDate: $('#AttendanceDate').val(), adProgramID: $('#adProgramID').val(), syCampusID: $('#syCampusID').val() },
datatype: 'json',
jsonReader: { root: 'List', page: 'Page', total: 'TotalPages', records: 'TotalCount', repeatitems: false, id: 'Id' },
mtype: 'GET',
colNames: ['Id', 'Code', 'Description', 'IsActive'],
colModel: [
{ name: 'Id', index: 'Id', hidden: true },
{ name: 'Code', index: 'Code', width: 170 },
{ name: 'Description', index: 'Description', width: 170 },
{ name: 'IsActive', index: 'IsActive', width: 170 }
],
pager: $('#CategoriesGrdPager'),
sortname: 'Code',
rowNum: 40,
rowList: [3, 3, 3],
width: '525',
height: '100%',
viewrecords: true,
beforeSelectRow: function (rowid, e) {
return false;
},
sortorder: 'desc'
}).navGrid('#CategoriesGrdPager', { edit: false, add: false, del: false, search: false, refresh: false });
});
NOTE:
As suggestion from one of comment below,
Added below column:
{
name: 'act', index: 'act', width: 55, align: 'center', sortable: false, formatter: 'actions',
formatoptions: {
keys: true, // we want use [Enter] key to save the row and [Esc] to cancel editing.
onEdit: function (rowid) {
alert("in onEdit: rowid=" + rowid + "\nWe don't need return anything");
},
onSuccess: function (jqXHR) {
// the function will be used as "succesfunc" parameter of editRow function
// (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:inline_editing#editrow)
alert("in onSuccess used only for remote editing:" +
"\nresponseText=" + jqXHR.responseText +
"\n\nWe can verify the server response and return false in case of" +
" error response. return true confirm that the response is successful");
// we can verify the server response and interpret it do as an error
// in the case we should return false. In the case onError will be called
return true;
},
onError: function (rowid, jqXHR, textStatus) {
// the function will be used as "errorfunc" parameter of editRow function
// (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:inline_editing#editrow)
// and saveRow function
// (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:inline_editing#saverow)
alert("in onError used only for remote editing:" +
"\nresponseText=" + jqXHR.responseText +
"\nstatus=" + jqXHR.status +
"\nstatusText" + jqXHR.statusText +
"\n\nWe don't need return anything");
},
afterSave: function (rowid) {
alert("in afterSave (Submit): rowid=" + rowid + "\nWe don't need return anything");
},
afterRestore: function (rowid) {
alert("in afterRestore (Cancel): rowid=" + rowid + "\nWe don't need return anything");
},
delOptions: {
// because I use "local" data I don't want to send the changes to the server
// so I use "processing:true" setting and delete the row manually in onclickSubmit
onclickSubmit: function (rp_ge, rowid) {
// we can use onclickSubmit function as "onclick" on "Delete" button
alert("The row with rowid=" + rowid + " will be deleted");
// reset processing which could be modified
rp_ge.processing = true;
// delete row
$(this).delRowData(rowid);
$("#delmod" + $(this)[0].id).hide();
if ($(this)[0].p.lastpage > 1) {
// reload grid to make the row from the next page visable.
// TODO: deleting the last row from the last page which number is higher as 1
$(this).trigger("reloadGrid", [{ page: $(this)[0].p.page }]);
}
return true;
},
processing: true // !!! the most important step for the "local" editing
// skip ajax request to the server
}
}
}
Now, PROBLEM:
Where to specify for calling - action of controller ?
On click of Edit, nothing happen, I want to call my own controlller 'action and popup my own dialog instead of jqgrid dialog.
PLease guide me.

I see you are using MVC, this is how I am doing it, this may be different than how you are doing it, but I like to do it this way. Basically you specify how you edit, add and delete in your controller and then use "url: '/YourController/YourActionMethod/' to tell the grid where to look. there are many different options you can set such as caption, width etc See Here.
}).navGrid('#CategoriesGrdPager', { cloneToTop: true, search: false },
{
url: '/YourController/EditCategories/',
editCaption: 'Edit Post',
closeAfterEdit: true,
closeOnEscape: true,
dataheight: 1150,
top: 25,
left: 50,
width: 900,
},//edit options
{
url: '/YourController/AddCategories/',
addCaption: 'New Post',
closeAfterAdd: true,
closeOnEscape: true,
dataheight: 1150,
top: 25,
left: 50,
width: 900,
},//add options
{
url: '/YourController/DeleteCategories/',
caption: 'Delete Post',
closeOnEscape: true,
}//delete options
);
