instead?

 I am populating a jqgrid from my server, all the columns of particular table are not shown in grid. For example a user has name,his car name and address, but in grid i am only showing user name and car name. When i add or edit a user i need to add and edit the address too, so i cannot use on the fly form as it will show only name and car name.

I have been using a separate form to update the table and reloading the grid and it worked fine. Now i have a requirement that i can add multiple users from form, so i thought of using a jquery ui form dialoge.

jquery ui form dialoge don't update the underlying jqgrid

in dialoge i am writing

 var gridId = $("#gridId");

 alert(gridId);

 var myData = [{name:"neeraj"}, {carname:"toyota"}];

 $("gridId").jqGrid("addRowData", myData, "last");

alert(gridId.getGridParam('records'));

first alert gives me an [object Object] but second one gives undefined

I am calling dialoge from a normal button not jquery custom button

1. I created a jquery ui dialog and called it from a <CustomButtons><trirand:JQGridToolBarButton> custom button on my jqGrid.
2. The dialog ran a jquery ajax json call to an ASP web service. (adding to database) (I’m using jqGrid for ASP.NET web forms).
3. After the successful ajax call I refreshed the jqGird using $("selector").trigger("reloadGrid");
4. Or replace step 3 with eval('var data = {…
   $("selector").jqGrid("addRowData", data, "last");
   (this option prevents the ‘loading’ message).

that can add you custom dialog to jqgrid.

This is a little bit hard to do for now.

You can start if you overwrite the modal functions in grid.common.js
