jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Thanks, Tony. The "loadonce" option seems to be the exact one I need. However, when I put this in the xml file to load (via jqGridImport):

<loadonce>true</loadonce>

it doesn't really work - no errors, and it apparantly is not going back to the server, but when I click on a column to sort, nothing happens. If, on the other hand, I click on a link which fires a

jQuery("#xmlist1").setGridParam({datatype:"clientSide"});

the sorts all work.

So is this a bug in what I am doing? Perhaps loadonce doesn't work via jqGridImport? Or am I just doing the wrong thing?

Thanks!

Hi Tony -

The datatype is xml.

And I have not tried the grid without import. But everything works fine, except for the local sorting. And I can get the local sorting to work by one of the following two methods:

1. Once the grid is loaded, click on a link which is bound via

$("#s1").click(function() {
  jQuery("#xmlist1").setGridParam({datatype:"clientSide"});
});

or (so that local sorting is enabled automatically):

2. via

setTimeout("MyInit()", 400);

where MyInit() is:

function MyInit() {
  jQuery("#xmlist1").setGridParam({datatype:"clientSide"});
}

However, #1 requires manual intervention, and #2 is kludgy since you don't really know how long to wait for.

Thanks for your help,

David

Hi Tony,

Well, I got it all working after all (not sure what was wrong before). So if you want to enable local sorting, via jqGridImport:

<datatype>xml</datatype>
<loadonce>true</loadonce>

does the trick!

Thanks!

David
