else {
    for (j=0;j<f.length;j++) {
        addCell(t,row,cur[f[j]],j+gi+si);
        rd[ts.p.colModel[j+gi+si].name] = cur[f[j]];
    }
}

Specifically here:

cur[f[j]]

This will only look up a field in current (cur) object. It would be nice if nested notation was respected. couldn't we perform an eval to lookup nested properties?

Something like:

for (j=0;j<f.length;j++) {
    addCell(t,row,eval("cur."+f[j]),j+gi+si);
    rd[ts.p.colModel[j+gi+si].name] = eval("cur."+f[j]);
}

I'm not sure what the broader implications of this may be. I tried it in Firefox and it worked. Just wondering if we could use something like this to support standard javascript notations for looking up nested and indexed JSON structures.

jqGrid code:

$("#tableContainer").jqGrid({
    jsonReader:{
      root: "orderlines",
      page: "page",
      total: "total",
      records: "records",
      repeatitems: false,
      id: "id"
    },
    url:'/Cart.action?_eventName=fetchOrderlines&id=' + orderId,
    datatype : 'json',
    colNames:['Title'],
    colModel:[
        {name: 'title.name', index: 'title.name', width:215, align: 'left', jsonmap: 'title.name'}
    ]
}).navGrid('#pagerdt',{edit:false,add:false,del:false});

JSON returned from my URL:
