how can i change the background color of a cell in a jqgrid custom formatter

Question

i can chance the text color by doing this in jqgrid custom formatter:

function YNFormatter(cellvalue, options, rowObject)
{
    var color = (cellvalue == "Y") ? "green" : "red";
    var cellHtml = "<span style='color:" + color + "' originalValue='" +
                                cellvalue + "'>" + cellvalue + "</span>";

    return cellHtml;
 }

but i want to now change the background color of the whole cell (instead of the text color).

is this possible?

Answer 1

Here

$("#cell").setCell(Row , Column, Value, { background: '#888888'});

Actually you won't even need custom formatter, if you just intend to do it for setting colors. You can even set color value from here like,

var color = (Value == "Y") ? "green" : "red";
$("#cell").setCell(Row , Column, Value, { background: '#888888', color: color});

Happy Coding.
