Hello Elan,

a. There is no requierment where these elements should be preset. But it is important that you have correct description in the xmlReader and these elements are present in the xml.

More Information you can find here:

b. See the link in a.

Best Regards

Tony

Hello,

Do you use static xml file or dynamic generated from server.

In the second case you will need to accept parameters posted from jqGrid and do the appropriate quiery.

If you are in the first case nothing will happen.
