jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

I kept getting errors related to what appears to be a missing table id.

from jquery :

"uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #"

AND

"uncaught exception: [Exception... "'Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: resource://firebug_rjs/net/spy.js :: callPageHandler :: line 798" data: no]"

I realized I hadn't assigned my table a valid ID (for good reason)

I fixed the problem by arbitrarily assigning the table an random id.

table.attr("id","table" + Math.floor(Math.random()*100000));

Hope this helps someone else trying to use this awesome library.
