jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

1. Can't update local data array to the jqgrid.

The doc said:

Data   Array    A array that store the local data passed to the grid. You can directly point to this variable in case you want to load a array data. It can replace addRowData method which is slow on relative big data.

But this only work at the init time of the jqgrid. After the jqgrid is created, I try below:

                                      var mydata = eval(evaluatingstr);
                                      jQuery("#list3").clearGridData();
                                         //jQuery("#list3").addRowData("rrid", mydata);
                                      jQuery("#list3").setGridParam({data:mydata});
                                      jQuery("#list3").trigger("reloadGrid");

But nothing happend and no error is reported.

The data array is correct, because if I use the "jQuery("#list3").addRowData("rrid", mydata);", it will add the data into the jqgrid correctly. I have tried remove the "rrid" column(which  refer to the row number id column) from the array, but still can't get the data into the jqgrid.

So that means we can't use the "data" option and "setGridParam+trigger" to update the jgrid?

By the way, the addRowData is very slow, I have only 20 records.

2. Can't control the position of the formatter check alert box.

If you set a formmater check on a column, and in the cell edting mode, when you enter a wrong value, it will show an alert box, but the box's position is NOT at the center of the screen, but at  a strange place of the left top coner. that make the user to lost their working eye site place, a very bad experience.

Have you found your issue? We've begun to use 3.7.1 & your post helped me as I was not using the clearGridData but once I plugged it in things went smoothly.

thanks

My implementation:

function adjustRecipients() {

    var rowID = 0;
    RecipientData.length = 0;
    for (var i in SelectedRecipients) {
        RecipientData[rowID] = SelectedRecipients[i];
        rowID++;
    }

    $("#RecipientsTable").clearGridData();
    $("#RecipientsTable").jqGrid('setGridParam', { data: RecipientData });
    $("#RecipientsTable").trigger("reloadGrid");
