$("#grid2").jqGrid('jqGridImport',
{
impurl:"grid_source_mini.xml",
imptype: 'xml',
xmlGrid :{config: "roots>grid", data: "roots>rows"}
});

When I want to use the same data with "xmlstring" import, nothing happens or I get

Uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #

$("#grid3").jqGrid('jqGridImport',{
imptype: 'xmlstring',
 impstring: '<roots><grid><colModel><name>P1</name><sortable>false</sortable><resizable>true</resizable></colModel><colModel> <name>P2</name><sortable>false</sortable><resizable>true</resizable></colModel><colNames>Property 1</colNames><colNames>Property 2</ colNames><datatype>xml</datatype></grid><rows><row id="as1234"><cell>doc name 1</cell><cell>bla blha bla</cell></row></rows></roots>',
xmlGrid :{config: "roots>grid", data: "roots>rows"},
});

I need to send to the client a lot of configuration data in one file, including Grid config/data for several grids.

That is why I'm not using XML import, but I want to use xmlstring.

Can anyone tell me why the same data works in the first example but fails in the second?

Is there a bug in the string to doc conversion that happens in import.js?

$.jgrid.stringToDoc(o.impstring); 

Thanks for any help!
