Can you please elaborate – I have used your own demo in my site to try and troubleshoot this – so I have the weird situation where I have code using local data (example 5) so as to not be server dependent – and it does not work.
It clearly works on your server, so I am obviously missing something – but I am not sure what.
Just a follow up for those who might come up on the same issue. My site is Django based and I was having all sorts of problems with getting blank row ids.
One real resource on the jqgrid site is the demo code – I recommend it to anyone who gets stuck. I downloaded the 3.4.x version and worked back from there.
Whatever the issues was, it was not jqgrids fault. What fixed it was replacing all the js with the exact structure and files of the demo code. You still have to change the /js path in jquery.jqGrid.js tho.
I had originally installed 3.4.4 with the patch. Whether it was my setup, or something in the patch, but this code did not work with Django. If you have issues try the js file from the demo code.
