title: jqGrid hide a field
body: <p>I am new to jqGrid, and having trouble with achieving a couple of tasks. Any guidance will be a huge help.</p>
  
  <p>I have a field (CREATE_DATE) whose value needs to be passed in the edit form. To achieve this I have to make it editable, but at the same time I don't want it to display in the edit form. Something similar to this issue (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2368051/jqgrid-how-to-have-hidden-fields-in-an-edit-form) Something like this is what I want to achieve.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#CREATE_DATE_id]').attr('type', 'hidden');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
