<div style="font-size:12px;">
With this example we show the new very usefull feature of jqGrid - load all the needed data from server at once and then <br>
operate on it locally - i.e - pagging, sorting, searching and etc. <br><br>
For this purpose we introduce a new grid parameter - rowTotal, when set this paramater can instruct the server <br>
to load the total number of rows needed to work on.<br>
Note that rowNum determines the total records displayed in the grid, while rowTotal the total rows on wich we operate.<br>
When this parameter is set we send a aditional parameter to server named totalrows. You can check for this<br>
parameter and if it is available you can replace the rows parameter with this one.<br>
You can see how fast is the grid when loading 2000 recs.
