If I place the freeze method inside the gridComplete event it works fine without refreshing. So this solves my problem. I do not know why adding it the exact same way as is in your example requires a refresh however I tried on 3 different grids I am using and they all acted the same way.

So now I have:

gridComplete: function() {

mygrid.jqGrid('setFrozenColumns');

}

And it works perfectly. I am guessing this solves all my performance issues (do you see anything wrong with doing it this way?)

Again thank you so much for this product and the new column freezing feature!

Best regards

Glad that we found the problem.

Thanks

the both new features: frozen columns and inlane navigator begin working if the browser cache will be deleted. Probably one should force the reload the data from the wed server?

I see maybe where is the problem.

The banners stop to work in Chrome and this maybe causes the problem.

Oleg could you please prepare a separate demo and test.

Thanks.

Just tested on my XP - (virtual machine) and it is ok for me. The version is the same.

Could you please clear your cache and reload.

In my Chrome on Linux this work perfect. Should I think that you use Chrome in Windows?

Look at the new demo in Chrome. You will see that the columns are not frozen. Instead of than even the 'rn' column with the row numbers will be scrolled. I don't analysed the code of frozen columns so can not yet suggest the corresponding bug fix.

Thanks for reporting.

I'm not sure why do you reload the grid after calling the frozen columns. You can see in the demo how to use it:

You do not need to reload the grid.

As usual a example of the problem is highly  appreciated, otherwise I can not help.

Kind Regards

Tony

mygrid.jqGrid('setFrozenColumns');

mygrid.trigger("reloadGrid");

My question is does calling a reload on the initial page load have a big performace drop? if so how can i clean this up... I would hate to thing its loading the whole grid then has to load it again.

Thanks a lot!

As for JQGrid and Tony Thank you so much for adding this feature I was not one of the many people requesting it but its very very useful so thank you so much for taking care of this I am sure it was not a easy task.
