Hi

as per the PDF provided

>>JSON data is handled in a fashion very similar to that of xml data. What is important is that the definition >> of the jsonReader matches the data being received datatype: json, (or jsonstring)

Some thing is wrong in here

var data = {
          “total”: “1”,
          “page”: “1”,
          “records”: “2”,
          “rows” : [
            {“id” :”1″, “cell” :[“cell11”, “cell12”, “cell13″,”cell13”]},
            {“id” :”2″, “cell”:[“cell21”, “cell22”, “cell23″,”cell13”]},
          ]
        };

Researched and found that changing   datatype : “jsonstring”,  TO  datatype : “json”,   WORKED

I am pretty sure some bug has squeezed in some where…
