It is not neccesary to load the grid in onready function. You can load it when you click a button and etc, but the needed grid js files should be loaded again with jquery. (Not sure if I explain it right)

Is it necessary to add the jqGrid code to the onReady function? I have a grid and depending on some initial action I must load the Grid. And its all working fine when I am loading the Grid from the javascript function call. Its just that when I tried to add "Custom button" to the Grid which is in my function call, it is not adding it using the code below:

jQuery("#product_grid").jqGrid('navButtonAdd','#pager',{caption:"Delete Selected",

onClickButton:function(){ 

               alert(s);

          } 

 }); 

Any help is appreciated! Thanks,
