I'm a newbie just getting into jquery and HTML and I've been trying for hours now to make this grid show data from a local (i.e., on my hard drive) XML file and I cannot do it.
I've read all of the other messages dealing with this issue and none seem to come up with a solution (that I can determine anyway). I've read the documentation (online version just to be sure that I'm reading the most up-to-date stuff) and tried using it's samples and they too fail to work for me. The most success that I've had so far is that I've been able to use datatype: 'xmlstring' to see the data in the grid, but, I'd really like to get it to work by reading a local XML file.
Just to let you know, I'm not using a server to do any of this stuff. No PHP, SQL server, etc. I'm not doing this for a web site. What I've got is a web browser control hosted on a form. The former is used to render HTML that I'm feeding it via its navigate() method, but, I digress...
Can someone please:
1) Tell me straight out if it is even possible for this grid to simply read the XML file from a folder location that I set. I'm thinking not since the samples would have show this but I hope that I'm wrong. Is it something to do with browser security? I'm using IE7.
2) If it is possible could you please post a working example of how it must be done.
TIA,
Mike

Hello Mike,
You will never have succes with this (in your case) if you use IE. IE does not like to read local xml files. If you use this in FF - all will be ok.
I recommend you to check jQuery google group about this problem.
Some hint from me:

Thanks for the quick reply Tony.
So reading a local XML file in IE is a dead end then. I'm not sure what is being done in the "hint" that you've given. I'll have to dig into it some.
The alternative that I've got is to use the tabletoGrid function to convert an HTML table. I've been able to do this but was wondering if the other options like paging can be applied to it. How?

Hello,
If I see the code contributed from Peter Romianowski it seems that we can not use the pager. If you use this function you can easy add this functionallity by adding the neede parameters (like pager and other ) to the function and pass it to jqGrid when it is constructed.
