    <p>I've been working on submitting all of the rows from a jqGrid to an action method using the general idea from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3356805/how-do-i-submit-jqgrid-values-as-formfields">this question</a> and some code from the comments on the <a href="http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:methods" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jqGrid Wiki</a>. Essentially, on submit, I want ALL of the row data to get back to the controller so I can persist it. I've tried using a hidden field to store all of the row data, but the controller never seems to get everything, only the last edited cell in the grid. So I switched to an ajax approach, but no matter what I've tried I can't get the ajax <code>POST</code> to come across as JSON. Here's what I have right now:</p> <pre><code>$("#submitButton").click(function () { $("#awesomeGrid").jqGrid('resetSelection'); var gridRows = $("#awesomeGrid").jqGrid('getRowData'); var rowData = new Array(); for (var i = 0; i &lt; gridRows.length; i++) { var row = gridRows[i]; rowData.push($.param(row)); } var dataToSend = JSON.stringify(rowData); $.ajax({ url: '@Url.Action("UpdateAwesomeGridData")', type: 'POST', data: { gridData: dataToSend }, dataType: 'json', success: function (result) { alert('success'); } }); return true; }); </code></pre> <p>And my controller method signature:</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult UpdateAwesomeGridData(string gridData) </code></pre> <p>I've tried changing the <code>gridData</code> parameter from <code>string</code> to <code>string[]</code> to <code>object[]</code> to all sorts of stuff, and nothing seems to work. If I leave it as <code>string</code>, I get the data, but the format is all wacky, like this (column names substituted):</p> <p><code> gridData=["Id=1&amp;Field1=1945&amp;Field2=0&amp;Field3=0&amp;Field4=1&amp;Field5=Some+string+value&amp;Field6=&amp;Field7=&amp;Field8=&amp;Field9s=","Id=2&amp;Field1=1945&amp;Field2=0&amp;Field3=0&amp;Field4=2&amp;Field5=Another+string+value&amp;Field6=&amp;Field7=&amp;Field8=&amp;Field9s=","Id=3&amp;Field1=1945&amp;Field2=0&amp;Field3=0&amp;Field4=3&amp;Field5=Yet+another+string&amp;Field6=&amp;Field7=&amp;Field8=&amp;Field9s=","Id=4&amp;Field1=1945&amp;Field2=0&amp;Field3=0&amp;Field4=4&amp;Field5=Final+string&amp;Field6=&amp;Field7=&amp;Field8=&amp;Field9s="] </code></p> <p>I got this out of Fiddler, and for the record, the JSON tab shows nothing for the request when I fiddle it. Is there a way I can JSON-ify this array and send it in a single call? What type would my parameter be on my action method?</p> <p><strong>EDIT - Solution</strong></p> <p>For any other people that are as dumb as I am, here's how I got it to work:</p> <p>First, on Oleg's suggestion, I added <code>loadonce: true</code> to the jqGrid definition. Then, changed my submit button function as follows:</p> <pre><code>$("#submitButton").click(function () { var griddata = $("#awesomeGrid").jqGrid('getGridParam', 'data'); var dataToSend = JSON.stringify(griddata); $.ajax({ url: '@Url.Action("UpdateAwesomeGridData")', type: 'POST', contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8', data: dataToSend, dataType: 'json', success: function (result) { alert('success: ' + result.result); } }); return true; }); </code></pre> <p>Then, changed my controller method signature:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult UpdateAwesomeGridData(IEnumerable&lt;GridBoundViewModel&gt; gridData) </code></pre> <p>Hope this helps someone in the future.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
