I have two questions reagarding context menu for jqGrid:

  1. I have an empty grid, and I want a context menu to appear when I click on the grid itself, or on the columns header, currently the context menu is only when I have rows inside the grid. So how can I do this?

  2. I have another grid inside a dialog window:

    $('#company_grid').contextMenu('grid_contextmenu', {
    bindings: {
        'add_row': function(t)
        {
        },

        'delete_row': function(t)
        {
        }
    });
    $(function()
    {
        $( "#company" ).dialog(
        {
            autoOpen: false,
            height: 500,
            width: 900,
            modal: true,
            resizable: false,
            open: function(event, ui)
            {
                $("#company").setGridWidth($(this).width()-2 );
                $("#company").setGridHeight($(this).height()-100);
            }
        });
    });

<div id="company">
    <table id="company_grid"></table>
</div>
<div class="contextMenu" id="grid_contextmenu">
    <ul>
        <li id="add_row">&nbsp;Add Row&nbsp;</li>
        <li id="delete_row">&nbsp;Delete Row&nbsp;</li>
    </ul>
</div>

When the dialog is opened, I can't see the context menu. I realized that it appears behind the dialog. So what am I doing wrong? How can I add a context menu to the dialog grids?

I'm guessing that all the dialog boxes in jQuery are controlled by CSS.

Maybe you could try changing the z-index value of your context menu to make it pop-over your dialog ?
