How to select all the rows in all the pages of jqgrid?

Question

I am able to select all the rows in a page by clicking on selectall checkbox. But I am unable to select all the rows across all the pages. Is it possible?

Answer 1

The answer on your question depend on many aspects of the implementation. You should specify which datatype you use (for example datatype: "local" ), which version of jqGrid you use and from which fork of jqGrid ( free jqGrid , commercial Guriddo jqGrid JS or an old jqGrid in version <=4.7).

I develop free jqGrid fork and I have implemented multiPageSelection: true option, described in the answer . See the demo . The new option allows to set the ids of the rows, which need be selected in selarrrow option of jqGrid. It allows "pre-select" the rows. Moreover it changes the behavior of "Select All" checkbox too.
