GridView focusRow() does not work if column 0 is hidden

[jarrod]

focusRow() works only if column 0 is not hidden due to the following:

row.childNodes.item(0).focus()

Btw, I'm storing additional internal row data which is never displayed (except for debugging purposes) but used more for determining the style of the grid row, as well as adjacent row cells. Currently, storing these internal data as hidden columns - which probably isn't the best method since hidden columns are created but never ever displayed - appreciate any good suggestions for the JSONDataModel.

You should probably consider using the dataIndex property on the column model and "mapping" your data to the appropriate data column index. This allows you to have all the data you want in your data model and selectly include what you want in the grid. Sounds like what you are trying to do.

Thanks, will check it out.
