How to Fix position of headers in subgrid of JQGrid?

Question

I've a sub-grid and height of sub-grid is set to auto.

height:"auto"

Here, I need to fix the position of headers, When i scroll down. But there is no scroll bar for sub-grid. Because i don't want multiple scroll bars in side my grid. Only one scroll bar.

Thanks in advance.

If the column headers of the subgrid will be fixed during scrolling of the main grid the headers will be overlapped with the contain of the next row of the main grid. In any way it is not possible what you want.

One tip as a workaround which I can suggest you: you can overwrite default tooltips shown if the mouse cursor is over the cells of subgrid. The default tooltips are the same as the cell contain. You can change behavior using cellattr (see the answer and another one as an example). The colModel element in the subgrid having

cellattr: function () { return ' title="My column name"'; }

will display the text "My column name" as the tooltip. I personally use the way for all columns having formatter: 'checkbox' . If you have many such columns and you want to examine some column in the middle of grid then it helps to determine to which column the cell belongs. In your case you have the same problem. So you can use the same cellattr property of the column.
