jqGrid - Unselect row on click

Question

How can I unselect a row on click? I tried this:

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

But only selection works, if I click on a selected row it does nothing.

Answer 1

Instead of return false try:

$("#myGrid").jqGrid("resetSelection");

So your code would be:

beforeSelectRow: function (rowid) {
    if ($(this).jqGrid("getGridParam", "selrow") === rowid) {
        $(this).jqGrid("resetSelection");
    } else {
        return true;
    }
}

Answer 2

Try this

    onSelectRow: function(id, rowid){
        if(id && id!==lastsel3){
            jQuery('#NAME_GRID').jqGrid('saveRow',lastsel3); 
            lastsel3=id;
        }           
    },  

please declare lastsel3 = null;
