Question

For jqgrid, you can supply a caption. If you do so, it creates a header with a button to minimize/expand the grid.

I have a page with several jqgrids. I’d like them all to start in the minimized state. They should wait to load the data until a user clicks the maximize button.

Is this possible?

You should just use the parameter hiddengrid:true of the jqGrid. Be careful it works not with all datatypes (not for tree grids for example).

If you set the hiddengrid:true with

$.extend($.jgrid.defaults, {hiddengrid:true});

the setting will be default and will be used by all grids on the page which has no hiddengrid defined.
