Thanks for the link. That is the reason that I say that this should be done server side – diffrent SQL serveres – diffrent behaviours, diffrent optimizations.
Short – In the next alfa release (comming soon) I do not support (and will not support) jQuery UI Dialog. Using UI Dilaog causes a lot of problems and moreover it is so slow in IE. Finaly I make a decision to implement my own modal function which can be seen in the upcomming release. It is not finished yet, but I hope that it will be done until the finall.
If you switch to jqModal you will not have such problem.
Local sorting is performed only on numeric date fields. It is a known limitation. Supporting a full range of date sorting including diffrent language setting requiere a code bigger than jqGrid. In order to resolve the problem add a hidden column with numbers or other acceptable date format and perform the sort on that column when you try to sort on the other one. Use onSortCol event for this purpose.
I suppose that you use inline editing, since in form editing this behaviour is by default.
In order to do that you need to use succesfunc and aftersavefunc – see documentatiopn. If all data is posted with succes you can use trigger(“reloadGrid”) in aftersavefunc.
I suppose if you enable the add edit or del the modal will not appear too. I think it is a z-index IE issue. In the search parameters try with z-ndex:2000. By default all modal forms have a z-index 950.
