Thanks for that reply dude... It made me think and realize what I was doing wrong. I had my gridComplete: event like this:

gridComplete: gridXComplete(),

I had to changed it to this. and everything works now.

gridComplete: function () {

gridXComplete();

/// Here is the start of the function....

function gridXComplete(){

selRow=$('#list').getDataIDs()[0];

$('#list').setSelection(selRow, true);

/// other code here......

}

I guess you cannot call a function directly as parameter and need to enclose it inside function(). Not sure why but it works.

Have you tried the loadComplete event?

Something like this:

$('#gridID').jqGrid
({

/* other options ... */

loadComplete:
function()
{
$('#gridID').setSelection($('#gridID').getDataIDs()[0], true);
}

});

It will select the first row even when you change pages.

When the grid loads, I would like a selected row to be highlighted as if it were clicked. I tried several things using setSelection but although it positions, it doesnt highlight. Also same thing when first loading the grid. The first row doesnt get selected.

Is there some trick to this?

I am using jquery.jqGrid-4.1.1

Thanks
