jqGrid how to override the "view" m

Question

I have a jqGrid where the "View" icon is enabled (view:true), so that a user picks a row in the grid, and then clicks the icon in the navbar to view the row.

Thing is, what I really want to have happen is a redirect to a different URL, with the rowid included as a parameter in the URL (e.g. foo.htm?rowid=5)

I went over the docs, and searched stackoverflow, but didn't see an obvious answer jump up. I'm sure there is an easy answer to this. Any suggestions?

Look at my previous answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3024075/jqgrid-navigation-based-on-the-selected-row/3024278#3024278.

It seems you just should add a new custom button which looks like a "View" button and do something based on the selected row. Try this one http://www.ok-soft-gmbh.com/jqGrid/ViewRedirect.htm which redirect to your the question if you click on the "View" button from the navigator.
