    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#menu li").hover(
            function() {
                $("ul", this).stop(true, true).slideDown("slow");
            },
            function() {
                $("ul", this).stop(true, true).slideUp("slow");
            }
        );
    });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <ul id="menu">
        <li>
            <a href="#item1">Item A</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#itemA1">Item A1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#itemA2">Item A2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#itemA3">Item A3</a></li>
                <li><a href="#itemA4">Item A4</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#item2">Item B</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#itemB1">Item B1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#itemB2">Item B2</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#item3">Item C</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#itemC1">Item C1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#itemC2">Item C2</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>
</body>
</html>

Code Explanation

This example demonstrates how to create a simple drop-down menu using jQuery:

  • Include jQuery: The script tag includes the jQuery library from a CDN.
  • Menu Behavior: The jQuery code listens for hover events on list items. When you hover over a list item, the sub-menu slides down. When you stop hovering, the sub-menu slides up.
  • HTML Structure: The menu is created using an unordered list (ul) with nested lists for the drop-down items.

Handling Change Events in jqGrid

Handling Change Events in jqGrid In this tutorial, we'll explore how to handle the change event in jqGrid to dynamically update another column based on the selected value.

When the user selects a country, the State column should dynamically update to show the relevant states for the selected country.

Persisting jqGrid State with Cookies

Persisting jqGrid State with Cookies jqGrid is an excellent jQuery plugin for displaying a grid. To enhance user experience, we added some filter possibilities and used jQuery to update the URL where data was fetched from. However, when users navigated away from the grid and returned, it would reset to its start position, losing any filtering or sorting they had set. To solve this, we needed to store the user's selections. Here are two JavaScript functions that achieve this using cookies: function saveGridToCookie(name, grid) { var gridInfo = new Object(); name = name + window.location.pathname; gridInfo.url = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'url'); gridInfo.sortname = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'sortname'); gridInfo.sortorder = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'sortorder'); gridInfo.selrow = grid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selro...
