OK, thanks for the pointers.

I think my basic problem was a misunderstanding of how jqGrid works. I'm not a JavaScript expert by any means at all, my background is C/C++ with a little Python and then PHP thrown in for luck. I need to do some basic learning about JavaScript classes and object! 🙂

Look at the place in the documentation. Try to use

var myUserData = $("#grid_id").getGridParam('userData');
alert(myUserData.Column1);

or try to use the as additional option userDataOnFooter: true of jqGrid.

Best regards

I'm trying to access some userdata set by a PHP script.

The XML data I'm sending is:-

<rows>
    <page>1</page>
    <total>1</total>
    <records>5</records>
    <userdata name="Column1">id</userdata>
    <userdata name="Column2">Date</userdata>
    <userdata name="Column3">Description of item</userdata>
    <userdata name="Column4">Credit Amt</userdata>
    <userdata name="Column5">Debit Amt</userdata>
    <row id='1'><cell>1</cell><cell>2012-01-01</cell>....

....

The table data is arriving OK in jqGrid but I can't seem to find any way to read that userdata, I've tried lots of different things as described in the documentation but nothing works. Can someone show me a simple example please.
