Question

I\'m hoping to use jqGrid for a current web project that I\'m working on. The problem is, I can\'t seem to get the JSON data to be displayed by the grid. Here is the grid\'s ini

Bottom line, the JSON data structure you are returning is incorrect.

One advantage of jqGrid is using a server-side library that automatically interacts with the client-side jqGrid. If for some reason you find using those pre-built server-side libraries untenable then you need to generate the JSON in the structure that jqGrid expects.

From the jqGrid JSON Data example (http://www.trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html) your JSON should look like this:

{"page":"1",
 "total":2,
 "records":"13",
 "rows":[{"id":"13","cell":["13","2007-10-06","Client 3","1000.00","0.00","1000.00",null]},
         {"id":"12","cell":["12","2007-10-06","Client 2","700.00","140.00","840.00",null]},
         {"id":"11","cell":["11","2007-10-06","Client 1","600.00","120.00","720.00",null]},
         {"id":"10","cell":["10","2007-10-06","Client 2","100.00","20.00","120.00",null]},
         {"id":"9","cell":["9","2007-10-06","Client 1","200.00","40.00","240.00",null]},
         {"id":"8","cell":["8","2007-10-06","Client 3","200.00","0.00","200.00",null]},
         {"id":"7","cell":["7","2007-10-05","Client 2","120.00","12.00","134.00",null]},
         {"id":"6","cell":["6","2007-10-05","Client 1","50.00","10.00","60.00",""]},
         {"id":"5","cell":["5","2007-10-05","Client 3","100.00","0.00","100.00","no tax at all"]},
         {"id":"4","cell":["4","2007-10-04","Client 3","150.00","0.00","150.00","no tax"]}],
 "userdata":{"amount":3220,"tax":342,"total":3564,"name":"Totals:"}}

So for your Data Set:

{"page":"1",
 "total:2,
 "records":"1",
 "rows":[{"id":"43", "cell":["Test Video","This is a test","Wed Feb 16 00:00:00 UTC 2011",""]}]}
