You can

var mymodel = $("#mygrid").getGridParam('colModel') // this get the colModel array

// loop the array and get the hideen columns

$.each(mymodel, function(i) {

if(this.hidden == true ) {

// do something here

}

});

I am new to jquery and jgrid and have found them amazingly simple.  I have managed to create an excelent reporting tool thanks to jqgrid however I am trying to save layout views.

I have manages to use getPostData to get all the search queries however I can not work out how to get a list of hidden columns.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
