I am using jqGrid to display information about cubicles in an office. I’m using PHP/MySQL to create an XML document which I grab with AJAX from the page with the grid. It shows location (town), cubicle number, computer name, phone number, and has a place for notes/comments. What I would like to do is be able to click on the computer name and have a modal open with another jqGrid that shows information about that computer (RAM, HDD, Model Number, etc) and same thing with the phone (jack number, punchdown block info, model, etc).

I tried using kylefox/jquery-modal but it would not display the table. I’m not sure if it was a problem with the modal or if it’s a limitation of jqGrid. Can I accomplish this with jqGrid? If so, how?
