I am using jqgrid with MVC. I am trying to add export to excel functioanlity to the grid pager using a custom button add feature of jqgrid. Excel button is showing up in the pager. I have created a empty excel file and gave that URL.

When I click on excel button in the pager, excel is opening but jqgrid data is not exported. I think I am missing something or I am not using this feature correctly.

Could someone help on how to do export to excel (if possible PDF as well).

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Miki
