jqgrid error - b.jgrid.jqID is not a function

Question

I'm trying to get started with the jQuery plugin, jqGrid, however it's giving me the error - "b.jgrid.jqID is not a function". I downloaded the plugin from http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=6 with all features included and am referencing both jquery.jqGrid.min.js and grid.locale-en.js.

Here is the html:

<table id="list"></table>
<div id="pager"></div>

And here is the js:

jQuery(function () {

        jQuery("#list").jqGrid({
            url: '/admin/campus/getnearbybusinesses',
            datatype: "json",
            colNames: ['Name', 'Location'],
            colModel: [
                { name: 'Name', index: 'Name', width: 150 },
                { name: 'Location', index: 'Location', width: 150 }
            ],
            rowNum: 10,
            rowList: [10, 20, 30],
            pager: '#pager',
            sortname: 'Name',
            viewrecords: true,
            sortorder: "asc",
            caption: "Businesses"
        });

        jQuery("#list").jqGrid('navGrid', '#pager', { edit: false, add: false, del: false });

    });

Issue ending up being that I had referenced jqgrid .js first when grid.locale-en.js needs to be referenced first. – Jordain

You're my hero. I've been working this issue for two hours thinking I had an error in my script. – Cumulostratus

Answer 1

Please try to include "i18n/grid.locale-en.js" before "jquery.jqGrid.src.js"

I posted the answer in my comment 8 days before this answer but I'll give you the points. :) – Jordain

This also helps for error object has no method jqID. Just put it here for Google. Thanks! – Sulfanilamide

Answer 2

I have the same problem, so first thing you need to consider is order of the included scripts (ex. first you need to load jquery, then grid.locale, and the last jqgrid.min.js), second thing to be considered is multiple included javascripts(in my project this was the problem, i have included jqgrid in two places). I removed them all and kept, only 1 version and the code started working file.
