userdata is the xml tag where the data is, userData is array of this data,

so in your case this should work:

var vRunningTotal = jQuery(”#list”).getGridParam("userData");

alert(vRunningTotal.intRunningtotal)

will alert 120

I am trying to get the userdata feature to work, but nothing so far. I have seen where others have asked similar and been directed to:

http://www.secondpersonplural&.....16ksnu.htm

To be honest I tried what I could but I did not get any wiser!

This is what I have:

This is generated from the server url page:

- <rows>
  <page>0</page>
  <total>1</total>
  <records>31</records>
  <userdata name="intRunningtotal">120</userdata>
  etc

And on my html page with the jqgrid, I am trying to get the value from the intRunningtotal variable with this:

gridComplete : function() {
//alert('grid completed');
var vRunningTotal = jQuery("#list").getGridParam("userdata"); //I have also tried "userData" and "intRunningtotal"
//var vRunningTotal2 = jQuery("#list").getReturnedData();
alert (vRunningTotal);
//alert (vRunningTotal2);
},

I am not sure if I need to set up the XMLReader in order to get this to work, so I tried this:

xmlReader: {
     root: "rows",
     page: "page",
     total: "total",
     records: "records", 
     //repeatitems: false,
     //cell: "cell",
     //id: "id",

  userdata: "userdata"
},

Still not working, please advise what is missing or wrong?

Thanks
