I am using jqGrid and want to save column widths after they are resized

I added the resizeStop event to my grid and it gets called, but I need to save the new column widths in the session and then u开发者_StackOverflow社区se the new values to maintain the user preferences for column widths. Currently paging in the grid or reloading resets the column widths.

Here is what I have so far.

resizeStop: function(newwidth, index) {
            alert(index + " : " + newwidth);
        }

OK, I got it. I store all column widths in a HashMap in a bean I use to save session info. When the resizeStop event is fired I submit the new column size to a controller (I'm using Java and Spring) which updates the values in the HashMap.

Here are the code snippets:

resizeStop: function(newwidth, index) {
                var colModel = $("#list").jqGrid('getGridParam','colModel');
                $.post("/sessionState/columnWidth/update",
                    {
                        column: colModel[index].name,
                        width: newwidth
                    }
                )
            }

and in the colModel:

{name:'Title', index:'title', width: ${uiState.columnWidthMap["Title"]}, jsonmap: 'title', sorttype: "text"}
