Wierd firefox issue in title jqGrid

Question

I am using old version of jQGrid i.e. v3.6.4.

As it doesnt support tooltip i introduced in this manner

afterInsertRow : function(rowId, rowdata, rowElem){
                        $(this).setCell(rowId, 'firstName', '', '',{ title: rowdata.firstName, alt:rowdata.firstName});
                        $(this).setCell(rowId, 'lastName', '', '',{ title: rowdata.lastName, alt:rowdata.lastName});
                        $(this).setCell(rowId, 'problem', '', '',{ title: rowdata.problem, alt:rowdata.problem});
                        $(this).setCell(rowId, 'allergy', '', '',{ title: rowdata.allergy, alt:rowdata.allergy});
                        $(this).setCell(rowId, 'medication', '', '',{ title: rowdata.medication, alt:rowdata.medication});
                    }

This way i associate Titles to cells. I am able to see titles in Chrome and IE but FF works mystically in the sense that it only shows the title to once you move in to jqgrid container and no tooltip after that. But you move out and visit again it will show it just once again.

Adding more to it when I use firebug's edit feature. and play around html just editing a single character and undoing it. Its starts working.

I am out of ideas now can someone help.

Answer 1

A friend of mine figured out whats going wrong here. In grid.base.js source i found that events on mouseleover and mouseout both returns false. Which actually is nothing but a known firefox bug. overridden that function and titles are coming fine in firefox as well.
