Set the initial type of datatype local and then change the datatype and reload the grid. Something like

...jqGrid({

datatype: 'local',

...

}).setGridParam({datatype:'json'}).trigger("reloadGrid")

The selected filter values are added to the grid get request using appendPostData(). 

The problem I am seeing is related to the initial loading of the grids.  I want to contruct the grids and add the post data before the grid does its' first data request.  So far, I have not found a way to do this.  Does anuyone have suggestions?
