While the caveat here should be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", I want to ask this question anyway.
I have a jqGrid loading data from a web service returning JSON data. my datatype is set as "json", and all is working well. I needed to disable the "deselect" of a row after a sort was implemented. I found the deselectAfterSort option in the wiki documentation, set the value to false, and all was working as expected. However, the documentation says "Applicable only when we use datatype : local." (wiki documentation here).
So this option worked as expected, but Im not using a local data type. Am I doing this correctly? I want to make sure whatever I do is supported and following proper implementation standards. Thanks in advance!
