Hi friends, ok, I'm back. I totally simplified my problem to just three simple fields and I'm still
stuck on the same line using the addJSONData method. I've been
stuck on this for days and no matter how I rework the ajax call, the json string, blah blah blah...I can NOT get this to work! I can't even get
it to work as a function when adding one row of data manually. Can anyone PLEASE post a working sample of jqGrid that works with ASP.NET and JSON? Would you please include 2-3 fields (string, integer and date preferably?) I would be happy to see a working sample of jqGrid and just the manual addition of a JSON object using the addJSONData method. Thanks SO MUCH!! If I ever get this working, I will post a full code sample for all the other posting for help from ASP.NET, JSON users
stuck on this as well. Again. THANKS!!
tbl.addJSONData(objGridData); //err: tbl.addJSONData is not a function!!
Here is what Firebug is showing when I receive this message:
• objGridData Object total=1 page=1 records=5 rows=[5]
? Page "1"
Records "5"
Total "1"
Rows [Object ID=1 PartnerID=BCN, Object ID=2 PartnerID=BCN, Object ID=3 PartnerID=BCN, 2 more... 0=Object 1=Object 2=Object 3=Object 4=Object]
(index) 0
(prop) ID (value) 1
(prop) PartnerID (value) "BCN"
(prop) DateTimeInserted (value) Thu May 29 2008 12:08:45 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
* There are three more rows
Here is the value of the variable tbl (value) 'Table.scroll'
<TABLE cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width: 245px;" class="scroll grid_htable"><THEAD><TR><TH class="grid_sort grid_resize" style="width: 55px;"><SPAN> </SPAN><DIV id="jqgh_ID" style="cursor: pointer;">ID <IMG src="http://localhost/DNN5/js/jQuery/jqGrid-3.4.3/themes/sand/images/sort_desc.gif"/></DIV></TH><TH class="grid_resize" style="width: 90px;"><SPAN> </SPAN><DIV id="jqgh_PartnerID" style="cursor: pointer;">PartnerID </DIV></TH><TH class="grid_resize" style="width: 100px;"><SPAN> </SPAN><DIV id="jqgh_DateTimeInserted" style="cursor: pointer;">DateTimeInserted </DIV></TH></TR></THEAD></TABLE>
Here is the complete function:
$('table.scroll').jqGrid({
datatype: function(postdata) {
mtype: "POST",
$.ajax({
url: 'EDI.asmx/GetTestJSONString',
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: "{}",
dataType: "text", //not json . let me try to parse
success: function(msg, st) {
if (st == "success") {
var gridData;
//strip of "d:" notation
var result = JSON.parse(msg);
for (var property in result) {
gridData = result[property];
break;
}
var objGridData = eval("(" + gridData + ")"); //creates an object with visible data and structure
var tbl = jQuery('table.scroll')[0];
alert(objGridData.rows[0].PartnerID); //displays the correct data
//tbl.addJSONData(objGridData); //error received: addJSONData not a function
//error received: addJSONData not a function (This uses eval as shown in the documentation)
//tbl.addJSONData(eval("(" + objGridData + ")"));
//the line below evaluates fine, creating an object and visible data and structure
//var objGridData = eval("(" + gridData + ")");
//BUT, the same thing will not work here
//tbl.addJSONData(eval("(" + gridData + ")"));
//FIREBUG SHOWS THIS AS THE VALUE OF gridData:
// "{"total":"1","page":"1","records":"5","rows":[{"ID":1,"PartnerID":"BCN","DateTimeInserted":new Date(1214412777787)},{"ID":2,"PartnerID":"BCN","DateTimeInserted":new Date(1212088125000)},{"ID":3,"PartnerID":"BCN","DateTimeInserted":new Date(1212088125547)},{"ID":4,"PartnerID":"EHG","DateTimeInserted":new Date(1235603192033)},{"ID":5,"PartnerID":"EMDEON","DateTimeInserted":new Date(1235603192000)}]}"
