jqGrid - prevent deselecting of a row

Question

Using jqGrid, if I click the selected row again, the row is deselected.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I would like the row to still be selected.

Answer 1

Great solution, a little bit more compact version:

  beforeSelectRow: function(rowid, e) {
      return ($(this).getGridParam('selrow') != rowid);
  }

Answer 2

Here is a workaround my brother and I came up with, just place the following code in the beforeSelectRow event:

  beforeSelectRow: function(rowid, e) {
      if ($(this).getGridParam('selrow') == rowid) {
        return false;
      } else {
        return true;
      }
    }
