creating stationary filter row on row0 of grid

[ianfer]

ive dicked and dicked with it, and i cant seem to make a stationary filter row at the top of a grid (not on the top bar, but an actual row).
ive also had a damned of a time trying to successfully manipulate cells.

ive been trying something like this:




grid.selModel.selectFirstRow();
thisRow= grid.selModel.getSelected();
testob=thisRow.fields.get( 0);


but i cant seem to add events, change the contents, rerender it.


is there maybe something im not updating proper?

thanks in advance.
