jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi ,

Greetings of the day!!!

I need a help while using datatype: "jsonstring" in jqGrid.

It sets the page,records,total based on the records that are returing in the json object, but ideally I want to explicitly set the total records and page based on the other properties in json.

 $("#gridPipeline").jqGrid(

   datatype: "jsonstring", 

 datastr: dataOutput,

 jsonReader: {               

      root: "GridData",

      page: "Page",    

    total: "Total",  

   records: "RecordCount",  

    id: "id" 

    cell: "cell",

    repeatitems: false,  

     }

)}

where my jsonstring is in the below way :

  var dataOutput = '{"Total":8,"RecordCount":157,"Page":1,"GridData":[{"Id".....

I return only 20 records at a time but I would be having like more than records in any scenario. I dont want to use json for the first time as it would hit my server again, but on the subsequent paging or sorting i will be changing the datatype : "json" on grid complete.

Please help me....

Thanks in Advance.......
