Folks, Got to the bottom of this. Here is the most important lesson I learnt from banging my head against the wall for 24 hours and almost jumping out of my window in frustration:
It is absolutely critical to include JS files in the correct order. Any deviation, and strange things happen. The magic order for me was as described in the JQuery UI integrations Wiki entry: http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:jquery_ui_intro http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:jquery_ui_intro Now for my specific questions: Post process data: If you don't want to mess with loadonce, setup a handler for loadComplete. See http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:events Events Local search / sort: set loadonce to true Go to server only on pagination: Toggle loadonce on pagination requests. I haven't tried this firsthand just yet. Hope this helps someone. -Raj rituraj_tiwari wrote: > > Folks, > > I am trying to do a couple of things here so please bear with my question. > I have a jqGrid-friendly XML response coming back from the server that I > render into my grid.
