You should use following data processor command:
 dp.enableDataNames(true);

Ok, I set the dataprocesor with enableDataNames(true) but on server side or queryString the column names are undefined for example

request.getQueryString() = gr_id=23636&undefined=23636&undefined=45

SO, in my xml where put the name values??????? pls example

Configuration via xml. What is attribute that set the name of column. FOR EXAMPLE

IN THIS XML WHERE AND WHAT ATTRIBUTE I MUST PUT.
<head>
  <column align="right" sort="int" type="ro" width="80">CostumerId</column> 
  <column align="right" sort="int" type="ro" width="80" >ProductID</column>

<column> xm tag has attribute "id" which will be used as column id. 
<column align="right" sort="int" type="ro" width="80" id="ProductID">Product Label</column>

SORRY I HAVE A NEW QUESTION ABOUT THIS TOPIC.

I CAN GET THE VALUE OF CELL WITH THE COLUMN NAME??

FOR EXAMPLE
<column align="right" sort="int" type="ro" width="80" id="ProductID">Product Label</column>

mygrid.cells(mygrid.getSelectedRowId(),"ProductID").getValue();

HOW TO??

Answer posted by dhxSupport on Jun 25, 2009 02:55

You can get cell's value if you know row ID or row Index and column Index:

var value=mygrid.cellById(rowID,cellINDEX).getValue();
or
var value=mygrid.cellByIndex(rowINDEX,cellINDEX).getValue();

If you know id of column you can get it's index using:
var columnINDEX=mygrid.getColIndexById(columnID);

Also you can get column id if you know it's index:
var columnID=mygrid.getColumnId(columnINDEX);


You can find list of all available API methods here http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/alpha.html#grid_api_a
