Question

I’m building a simple mvc3 app using jqgrid.
My form currently calls a function in my controller that searches the database based on what the user has inputted into the textboxes after clicking on a search button.
I want to only display the jqgrid with the information after clicking on the search button.
Any idea on how to do this?
Thanks

You need to pass an additional variable to the controller to check whether you have selected a button or not.

example:

('#grid').jqgrid({
...
url: '/Controller/Action/?additionalvariable = ' + variable,
...
)};

where the value of the variable is true or false depending on whether you have searched or not.
