hiddengrid have effect only the first time when the gird is loaded. After that there is no effect. Also serch this forum for "HeaderButton" and you will find the answer.

 Pretty much the same problem. I am doing this

jQuery('#list').setGridParam({ hiddengrid: false });

and then

 jQuery('#list').trigger("reloadGrid");

But still the grid is collapsed. How to expand the grid using grid method/properties?

Thanks for this great grid! Appreciate the time you put in.

Try hiddengrid:true. See docs and demos.

Anyone have an idea what would be the best way to not show the grid when page is loaded and only show it based on an event, like click, and then with custom data set with for eks jQuery(”#grid_id”).setPostData( newdata).

I can ofcource show an empty grid and do an setPostData and triggerReload, but I hoped to not do that.

By the way, this is a great plugin that I've used several times.
