Question

I’m using jqgrid 4.1.2, a sample of the code used to create the grid is shown below. Everything works fine until I try to set frozen columns at which point a runtime error is thrown – ‘ jqGrid – No such method: setFrozenColumns ‘ – can anyone see why this is happening ?

jQuery("#grid").jqGrid({
    url: '@Url.Action("LoadGrid")',
    editurl: '@Url.Action("UpdateGrid")',
    datatype: 'json',
    shrinkToFit: false,
    autowidth: true,
    mtype: 'POST',
    ..... columns ....
    rowNum: 100,
    rowList: [5, 10, 20, 50],
    sortname: 'Id',
    sortorder: "desc",
    viewrecords: true,
    caption: 'Instances',
    height: 225
});
$("#grid").navGrid("#pager", { edit: true, add: false, del: false, search: false });
$("#grid").jqGrid('setFrozenColumns');

It seems to me that frozen columns are supported started with 4.3.0 version of jqGrid. To be able to use the feature you have to update jqGrid which you use.
