I have this very unusual behavior, Let me describe the problem.

The jqgrid has 14 records all together, at first it is set to rowNum:10, when from the drop down I select to display 50 rows all the records accommodate, but in Firefox 5 when I select the 11th row (Name as asd) it selects the 10th row as well. It behaves differently in IE8.

In IE8 it gives me the below error

Webpage error details

Message: 'className' is null or not an object
Line: 2496
Char: 4
Code: 0

Here is the image of IE8

You should test yourself the code which you post. You should carefully read the question with the answer. If you don’t want to have the described problems you should set your questions in another way. Nevertheless I will answer on your current question.

The current code contains many undefined functions and variabls. Moreover it has small syntax error. One from the most important is

var grid = jQuery("#list1");
var iconAlert;

getColumnIndexByName = function (grid, columnName) {
    ...
},
grid = jQuery("#list1"),
iconAlert = '<span class="ui-state-error" ...'

You should not define the same variables twice and in any way sou should replace ‘;’ at the ent of var iconAlert; to comma to define the variable getColumnIndexByName as a function.

The code at the beginning (xml=xml.replace(/<productId>1/g, "<productId>"+productMap['1']);) I can’t understand at all. Why you need to do strange modifications of XML as text if you has $xml and can use jQuery to select and modify any XML element.

If you would continue to use so dirty code you can has more serious problems. I recommend you always verify your code in JSLint. You can include JSLint options for example

/*global $, jQuery */
/*jslint devel: true, browser: true, vars: true, white: true, plusplus: true*/

After all the work with preparing the test example only the resulting code don’t have the problems which you described.
