Ah. Ok. I see how the initialization of the source object goes hand in hand with the data.php file array initialization. What I ended up doing was to change the data.php file so that array initialization had the same name on both sides of the initialization. So the effect was the same.

$responses[] = array(
        'action' => $row['action'],
        'response_date' => $row['response_date'],
	'response' => htmlspecialchars($row['response'])
      );

After I did this it started to show results. But, it’s nice to understand how the grid functions which you have definitely made clear in your example.

I have another question for you though and this ones an easy one.

Is there a way to limit the size of the grid when using the autorowheight: true and autoheight: true. I want to set the height to like 500, but that doesn’t do anything when I have these other two options set. Is there something similar to a maxheight available. I looked but don’t see it in the API. For now I’m using pageable: true to limit how high the grid can grow.

I also wanted to compliment you on a most excellent product. I have tried all the libraries and I mean “ALL” the libraries that are available to buy or for free and yours is by far the most developer friendly I have found. I would also like to comment on the excellent customer service I have recieved. I’m just a trial user now but you have definitely earned yourself a paying customer. I will be happily purchasing within the next couple of days and glad to be on board with you guys! See you around the boards.

I guess you’ll just have to take my word for it that it is the div tag for the jqxgrid object and it is printing. Sorry for all the extra posts.

[scottParticipant]

Hmmm… Ok well..not sure why it refuses print. How about this $output .= ” “;

[scottParticipant]

For some reason its not printing my output variable so I’m trying it in here:

$output .= “

“;

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your response Peter!
It occurred to me that I probably didn’t provide enough information in my prior post but I didn’t want to overload the post in case someone was familiar with the problem.

Here is the code to go along with the steps:

1) data.php

data.php:
$row[‘buyer_id’],
‘Response Date’ => $row[‘response_date’],
‘Response’ => $row[‘response’]
);
}
echo json_encode($responses);

2)Your request: initializing the Grid.
$(document).ready(function()
{
// prepare the data
var source ={
datatype: “json”,
datafields: [{ name: ‘buyer_id’ },{ name: ‘response_date’ },{ name: ‘response’ },],
url: ‘data.php’
};

$(“#jqxgrid”).jqxGrid({
source: source,
theme: ‘classic’,
columns: [{ text: ‘Buyer ID’, datafield: ‘buyer_id’, width: 100 },{ text: ‘Reponse Date’, datafield: ‘response_date’, width: 150 },{ text: ‘Response’, datafield: ‘response’, width: 500 }]
});
});

3)Data output:

$output .= “

“;
To be output later: print $output;

Like I mentioned in my prior post, I don’t have any problems seeing the grid, it’s just that I get blank data.
When I run data.php from the command_line here is the output of the json_encode() function and it is exactly what I expect to see:
[{“Buyer ID”:”23″,”Response Date”:”2013-05-17″,”Response”:”Accepted”},{“Buyer ID”:”23″,”Response Date”:”2013-05-17″,”Response”:”Failed: Invalid SID”}]

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Scott
