I have this declaration on my script and i want to choose the columns that can see on it..

       $("#list").jqGrid({
            url: '/persons.ashx',
            datatype: 'xml',
            mtype: 'GET',
            colNames: ['Name', 'Age'],
            colModel: [
            { name: 'Name', index: 'Name', width: 100, align: 'center', editable: true, editoptions: { size: 30 }, editrules: { edithidden: false }, sortable: true },
            { name: 'Age', index: 'Age', width: 100, align: 'center', editable: true, editoptions: { size: 30 }, editrules: { edithidden: false }, sortable: true }
            ]
            ajaxSelectOptions: {
                data: {
                    codSelected: function () { return _codSelected; }
                      }
            },
            onSelectRow: function (rowid) {
               _codSelected = rowid;
            },
            autoencode: true,
            pager: '#pager',
            rowNum: 20,
            sortname: 'Name',
            sortorder: 'asc',
            sortable: true,
            autowidth: false,
            width: 999,
            height: -1,
            shrinkToFit: true,
            viewrecords: true,
            gridview: true,
            caption: 'Persons',
            editurl: ''
        });

        jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navGrid',
            '#pager',
            {
                add: false,
                del: false,
                edit: false,
                search: true,
                refresh: true,
                cloneToTop: true
            },
            { width: 360, resize: false, closeAfterEdit: true, recreateForm: true, viewPagerButtons: true
            },
            { width: 360, resize: false, closeAfterAdd: true, recreateForm: true },
            {}, //Delete action
            { closeAfterSearch: true, closeOnEscape: true }
        );
    });

        //CODE ADDDED TO CAN CHOOSE COLUMNS
        jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navButtonAdd', '#pager', {
                    caption: "",
                    buttonicon: "ui-icon-calculator",
                    title: "Choose columns",
                    onClickButton: function () {
                        $(this).jqGrid('columnChooser');
                    }
                });

I have 14 columns, but i cant see all in my screen, i have put only 2 columns in this example, but i cant see the choose button near reload button, and in fact, cant choose any column to order it..

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

The code which you posted has some syntax problems. It looks like

    $("#list").jqGrid({
        ...
    });
    jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navGrid', ...
    );
});
    jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navButtonAdd', '#pager', { ...
    });

I suppose it looks like

$(function () {
    $("#list").jqGrid({
        ...
    });
    jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navGrid', ...
    );
});
    jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navButtonAdd', '#pager', { ...
    });

and you try to use navButtonAdd out of $(document).ready(...).

If it’s really so, you should move call of navButtonAdd inside of $(document).ready(...) directly after the call of navGrid and the problem will be solved.
