First, thanks for the great plugin.

I like the toolbar feature and the examples I looked at used the following pattern:

$('#t_list').append('')

which did work for me.

I prefer adding HTML to the toolbar using a templating language.

This can be accomplished in jqGrid by applying this patch (jqGrid 3.3; Date: 2008-10-05 rev 62)

It worked for me on FF3 on Mac.

Sample usage to add '

':

jQuery('#list').jqGrid({
