If you want that somebody help you to find an error in your code, you should post the code. The best is a full code example which reproduce your problem.

The error I'm getting in Firebug is:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>

<script src="jq-grid3.6.5/i18n/grid.locale-en.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jq-grid3.6.5/jquery.jqGrid.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Jim

       I don't know your server used which lanaguage. I get the demo use php.

your server application already receive your transfered parameters, include “_search”、“searchField”、“searchString”、“searchOper”.

such as :$_REQUEST['_search'];$_REQUEST['searchField'];$_REQUEST['searchString'];$_REQUEST['searchOper'];

if you already get these parameters, you must addcording this condition to return the data to client(such IE explore). And you must pay attention to your data type. json or xml or custom data.

       the client get the data and show it in jqgrid.

       I advice you to check the server code whether is working normal.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="js/jqgrid/css/jquery.searchFilter.css" />

I'm running V 3.6.5 of the grid, upgraded from earlier version.  If I use the modal search at the bottom of the grid it works. But if I use the reset on the search box or close the search box out the grid doesn't reload.  If I use the grid reload icon on the bottom of the grid it doesn't work after I use the grid search.

I need to do a page refresh to get the data reloaded.

These are the js files I'm pulling in:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>

<script src="js3-5/grid.locale-en.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jq-grid3.6.5/jquery.jqGrid.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jq-grid3.6.5/jqModal.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Am I missing a required file?

Thanks,  Jim
