jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi,

I am trying to customize jqgrid into my project. What I wish to accomplish here is to define the grid the following way:

………………………

colModel: getColNames('<%= ViewData["myColsNames"] %>'),

colModel: getColModel(”'<%= ViewData["myColsNames"] %>'”),

……………………….

where the getColNames will return an array of strings with the column names that I saved in the view data and the getColModels returns similar array of strings in the format of

{name: 'act', index: 'act', width: 75, sortable: false },

…

When calling the colNames alone with hardcoded colModel, the table looks fine. But when I try using getColModels, it does not work and give an error messsage “length of colName <> colModel”. . I wonder how could I make the grid take the dynamically defined colModel?

Currently the getColModel procedure look like the following:

function(myinput){

//I am mocking up just one column in the table with the corresponding colName set to only one colmn

var t = “{name:” + “\\'Act\\',” + ” index: ” + “\\'Act\\'}”;

return t;

}

Do you have any idea how I could get over with this? I see that colModel is an array of objects. can I defined it on my own colModel dynamically like this?

Any help or comment is appreciated. Thank you!
