If you have a pager like <div id="grid_pager"></div>, you can do almost anything you want about how you want to display it. For instance, you can hide it until loading is completed: $('#grid_pager').hide(), and if you want to add your own text you can do something like this: $('#grid_pager_right').text('foo'). If you use FireBug plugin, you can get the DOM information on any section of the page.

I hope this helps,

I have a jqGrid fetching data from a web service where most queries are quick, but some can take a considerable time.  For most of the queries I would like the pager as standard, showing "page p of n" and "view a - b of m", but when it is a slow query, the time taken for the server to calculate m (and therefore n) in addition to the results would double the time the user has to wait.  In these cases I wish to display just "page p" and "view a-b", in other words remove the "of n" and "of m".

The nearest I have got to this is either inhibiting the whole display, or displaying "of NaN" by having the server send "?" in place of a number.

Can anyone give me a clue as to where I should be looking to achieve what I need?

Thanks
