Call a function in a second grid

[Robert]

I have 2 grids in separate <div>'s but in one php page.

Both grids are working perfectly HOWEVER, I would like to call a function in one of the grids from the other one (and pass in a var). Because they are wrapped in self executing functions, I cannot access the internal function of the opposite grid.

Is it possible to call an internal function of one grid from another grid?

Thanks in advance!

After miles of searching before asking the question here ... I didn't realize how close I was to the answer. My apologies. I found an example that allows this to happen and it works beautifully.

 (function($) {

     var namespace;
         namespace = {
                     something : function() {
                                             alert('hello there!');
                                            },
                      bodyInfo : function() {
                                             alert($('body').attr('id'));
                                            }
                     };
         window.ns = namespace;
    })(this.jQuery);

   $(function() {
              ns.something();
              ns.bodyInfo();
   });

Common solution to this is:

If you want to call API of a grid for which you don't have its instance variable, you can always get reference to it using the selector.

$(function(){
  //grid A constructed in this function.
  var obj = {....};
  var $gridA = $("#A").pqGrid( obj );
});

$(function(){
  var $gridA = $("#A");
  //call methods
  $gridA.pqGrid( 'some method' );
});

Fantastic suggestion! THANK YOU!!! I will work with this and see if it solves what appears to be a scope issue I am having. Thank you again.

This seems so simple but I am having issues getting this to work. Is there and example I can see where this is implemented?

OH MY ... I got it to work!!! You are a life saver!!!
