jQuery + jqgrid postData overriding default values

Question

so I have grid which I set some defaults on like so...

defaults: {
    datatype: \"json\",
    mtype: \"POST\",
    autowidth: true,
    height: \'100%\',
           


        

Answer 1

you have to add a extra option to your options called serializeGridData see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:events

so you should do something like this:

$('#grid').jqGrid({
    url: 'url',
    ....
    serializeGridData: function(postData) {
      var newPostData = $.extend(postData, {
        extraParam: 'EXTRA-PARAM-VALUE'
      });

      // newPostData now is (_search=false&nd=1324619663709&rows=100&page=1&sidx=&sord=asc&extraParam=EXTRA-PARAM-VALUE)
      return $.param(newPostData);
    }
});
