jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

jquery version is 1.10

grid version is 4.6

I have developed a method that uses the jqGridExport to get an XML string and save's it in a database.

then the user picks a grid configuration from a list of save configurations. the grid fetchs the configuration from the server.

we then unload the grid.

then we use the jqGridImport function to import the xml string.

we observe the grid widget making a call for data to the server and information is returned but at the end of this there is no grid just the table and pager elements in there unloaded state.

To get this working this far because we did encounter errors where the import was not properly parsing functions back into functions it was leaving them as strings.

I forked the jqGrid project on github and updated the grid source files to include what I had to change in order to make this work for me to this point.

my github user is kccarter76 and I have created a pull request so you can look at the changes that I made to the 4.6 source so far.

the id is #598.

do you know of any reason as to why the grid is not initializing or can you give me an idea where to look.

thank you
