jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

okay, i have no idea what happen to my post, but i can't fix it.

Hi Tony and anyone that can help,

I am using 3.5 beta, JSON as my datatype, and using the userData to return Error messages.  According to FireBug, I am getting a response of:

{"USERDATA":{"MSG":"Duplicate Account, Please try a different Account Name.",
"TYPE":"Error"}}

I am trying to create an alert using javascript to display these messages and have added:
afterSubmit:testThis
to nav.

I have built the function around the method getGridParam('userData')
According to the documentation is should return something like:
userData = 
{"MSG":"Duplicate Account, Please try a different Account Name.",
"TYPE":"Error"} correct?

now when I create this function:

function testThis()
{
	var recorddata = $('#AccountList').getGridParam('userData');
	alert(recorddata);
}	

it returns an alert telling me there is an object there, but when i try this:

function testThis()
{
	var recorddata = $('#AccountList').getGridParam('userData');
	alert(recorddata.length);
	alert(recorddata.MSG);
	alert(recorddata.USERDATA);
	alert(recorddata.TYPE);
}	

It returns nothing but undefined across the board.

I have also tried running the variable recorddata through a print_r setup for javascript that takes objects and arrays and 
represents them textually and it is showing up with nothing, it is just blank.
Somehow, i am loosing the object or it isn't being passed right.  Could there be a problem with getGridParam('userData')?
Any and all help would be very much appriecated and if you need to see more of my code let me know.

Thanks again.

Hello again,

I managed to get the userdata to show up in the alert, however it looks like

only the userdata response from the "GET" is being displayed in the alert.

The Reponse for the "POST" is failing to show up.

Please does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you
