jqGrid issue - getRowData

I seem to be havign yet another problem with jqGrid :-( I am trying to get the current row data using getRowData, but all I get back is an array [object, Object]. What am I doing wrong?

 This is what I'm using 

var rowdata = $("开发者_如何学Python#list").jqGrid('getRowData');

Can somebody help?

thanks

After reading in the comments additional information about your problem I would recommend you following.

If you need to print the page which contains jqGrid you could need to prepare additional CSS for media="print". See here for additional information.

The method getRowData called without parameters give back the array of rows which are array of visible cells. For every cell will be called unformatter, so the data could be not identical to to data which you posted to jqGrid. Moreover if you use data paging or filtering you can have another problem: only visible cells from the current page will be returned back.

I personally prefer to use export to Excel instead of printing the pages. In the case I add an custom button in the navigator bar. If the button will be clicked by the user the request to the corresponding MVC controller action will be sent. The server get all data for the corresponding grid from the database and generate XLSX Excel data as stream with respect of Open XML SDK. The corresponding code is not very small, but in the way one can generate perfect Excel file formatted like it is required. In the case you don't need install Microsoft Office on the server side. The user just opens Excel with all data if he/she clicks the "Export to Excel" button in the jqGrid. In Excel there are very good printing possibility. The most users knows Excel very good and can customize the data (hide some columns for example) before printing.

So my suggestion to you to spend some time in implementing export to Excel instead of implementing printing of jqGrid directly.
