jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi,

I wanted to be able to remember the selected rows (multiselect: true) when navigating the grid, I coded the following, which work fine when paginating (first, prev, next, last) and sorting, but doesn't work when changing the "number of requested rows" (select box):

//-----[2 global variables]

/**
 * @var array - currently selected rowids
 */
var selectedRowIds = new Array();

/**
 * @var bool - set to false in method gridComplete
 *             to "disable" method onSelectRow
 *             while it "setSelection" the currently
 *             selected rowids.
 */
var enableOnSelectRow = true;

//-----[2 jqgrid methods]
/**
 * If selected rowid, push it onto "selectedRowIds",
 * If deselected rowid, remove it from "selectedRowIds"
 */
onSelectRow: function(rowid, selected) {
    if ( ! enableOnSelectRow ) {
        return;
    }
   
    if ( selected ) {
        selectedRowIds.push(rowid);
        return;
    }
   
    for( var i in selectedRowIds ) {
        if ( rowid === selectedRowIds[i] ) {
            selectedRowIds.splice(i, 1);
            break;
        }   
    }   
},

/**
 * Iterate over "selectedRowIds" calling
 * "setSelection"
 */
gridComplete: function() {
    enableOnSelectRow = false;
    for ( var i in selectedRowIds ) {
        $('#list').setSelection(selectedRowIds[i]);                  
    }
    enableOnSelectRow = true;
},

If you select some rows and paginate or sort, everything is fine, the selected rows are preserved. If you change the "number of requested rows" (select box), you lose the selected rows until another pagination or sorting is done. Somehow, the "gridComplete" method seams to behave differently when invoked after a "number of requested rows" change, as opposed to a pagination/sorting invocation.

Thank you very much for your help.
