jqgrid password field not only in edit mode

Using jquery: jqgrid password field not only in edit mode on newest questions tagged jquery – Stack Overflow

I’m trying to implement 2 things:

1. Adding edittype:'password' to one of my columns so I will be able to see *** instead of the actual value itself. The problem here is that I see *** only when I edit the row, but when I select another row, I save the old row, and disable it from editing mode, but now when it’s not an input I can see the actual value – so it’s like I never used password input. What do I need to do in order to see the value as password also when I’m not in edit mode??

2. I want to condition the password column not to be on all rows of this column, is that possible to do? I want to check another value from the row and only if it equals a certain value I want to set the field as password, and if it’s not equals to leave it as a regular field. How can this be done?
