jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

right, got it.  a little ugly but not bad

 gridComplete: function(){
         $("#gview_vendorMaterialGridContainer .ui-jqgrid-hdiv").css("display","none") }

where the name of the <table> element on the page is "vendorMaterialGridContainer". jqgrid appends the prefix gview_ to it after rendering and the "ui-jqgrid-hdiv" is of course the div which contains the header.

yup. that works too, I have a couple of grids on my page and want to hide the headers selectively but this still works.  And of course, hide() is how I should have done it.
