Disabling A Jqgrid Dropdown In An Edit Dialog Form

Does anyone know how through either javascript or jQuery know how to disable a select (dropdown) control within a jqGrid edit dialog form?

Solution 1:

Use dataInit event and do $(element).attr("disable", "disable") there. To make this happen everytime the form is shown, either set option to re-create form each time it is shown (by default it is created once), or try to set disabled in the afterShowForm event.
