First, thanks for all the work you put into your product. 

I use WCF to populate jqGrid.  WCF is very snobby about how you submit the data.  Previously, the only way we could get jqGrid to work with WCF was to set datatype to a function and do the ajax manually.  This works fine but I wanted to use your built in 'Loading...' text.  I went ahead and made some modifications to the grid to get it to work without having to build your own datatype function.

Properties I added (with default):

  contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
  modifyPostData: null,

Code Change:

case "script":
  $.ajax({ url: ts.p.url, type: ts.p.mtype, dataType: dt, contentType: ts.p.contentType,
  data: ($.isFunction(ts.p.modifyPostData)) ? ts.p.modifyPostData(ts.p.postData) : ts.p.postData,

 Usage:

contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
modifyPostData: function(postdata) { return JSON.stringify(postdata); },

This will make it easier for us WCF'ers and allow us to use your 'Loading' tooltip thing.  Thanks!!
