Hi Oleg,
Thank you for your response. I used -1 because it was stated in the documentation that one should use -1 to display all rows. However, now this phrase is crossed out: /jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:options. I wonder if this setting was deleted without replacement?
Setting the value to such a ridiculous high number is exactly the work around that I used.
Best regards
