As of the docs you can not get data from attribute. The only exception is id.

I realized that I had to set repeatItems in the xmlreader to false, then it started to partially work.. but [macro] is not getting the attribute to fill that first column.. hrmm..

I just formatted the jqGrid.min and I'll try to see a little closer where things are going awry.

I have tweaked the xml since to include those empty fields, etc.. so I could check again..

BTW, is there a difference between $.stringToDoc and jQuery.stringToDoc ?  I tried $.stringToDoc and it said it was not found so I just copied the method into my code and called it to see that it worked.

To test. In 3.5 version we have a string to doc function (which convert xml string to dom element)

Just do this in firebug

console.log(jQuery.stringToDoc(facetString));

var facetString = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>\\
<cluster id='CL-1'>\\
    <name>Bubba</name>\\
    <shortName>Bub</shortName>\\
    <facets>\\
        <facet macro='0' micro='0' id='F-0'>\\
            <studentFeedback>You got it.</studentFeedback>\\
            <description>He gets it, sorta</description>\\
        </facet>\\
    </facets>\\
</cluster>";
           
            $("#facet-table").jqGrid({
                datatype : "xmlstring",
                datastr : facetString,
                xmlReader : {
                    root : "facets",
                    row : "facet"
                },
                multiselect : true,
                multiboxonly : true,
                autowidth : true,
                colNames : ["Code", "Description"],
                colModel : [
                    {name : "code", index : "code", align: "center", sortable: false, width : 50, resizable: false, xmlmap: "[macro]"},
                    {name : "description", sortable: false, width : 900}
                ],
                imgpath : "javascript/third-party/jquery-ui-custom/css/south-street/images",
                viewrecords : true,
                caption: "<strong>Facets</strong>"
            });

I have about 18 other questions, but I figured once I got the basic going.. (for instance what config fields are required?, How do you make a column the concatenation of two attributes? IE macro+micro.. Is it ok to not have a pager?, etc..)
