Hello,

You can not create a grid without id. The id is requierment.

I'm little confused understanding the problem.

I have created a jqGrid (example below shows how it is done in jQuery) with no id:

var _grid = $( "<table>")
           .appendTo( document )
           .jqGrid({
                …..
           });

I now can't import JSON data as the grid does not have a unique id.

However the following will allow me to import data as I have declared an id:

var _grid = $( "<table>", {
               "id" : "some_unique_id")
           })
           .appendTo( document )
           .jqGrid({
                …..
           });

Notice this time I have declared an id

if the root element does not have an id, importing data casues a bug as it tries to reference :

"# tbody:first"

notice the space after #, as if the main element does not have an id, nothing is set here.

As my creation of the jqgrid was dyanmic, to counteract the bug I set the id during dynamic creation as follows:

id : (function(){ return "dynamic_grid"+$(".ui-jqgrid").length })

This allows for multiple grids to be in the document, but adds a total amount of jqgrids in the document to the end of each id to make it unique.
