Jqgrid does not initiate server side call

Sorry to be posting this question. :( But I have spent almost the entire day and need another pair of eyes to look into my code.

OS: Windows Frameworks开发者_开发百科: JQuery (latest version), JqGrid (latest version), Spring (latest version) DB: PostgreSql Tool: Springsource Tools Suite

When I type the below URL, I get XML data back from the server. http://localhost:8080/myapp/deliveryJqgridData

But the below jqGrid call does not call the above URL. I dont get any error on Spring TC server. I do get the alert message "enteredJqgrid". The code below is stored in deliveryJqgrid.jsp. The same is accessed through localhost:8080/myapp/deliveryJqgrid. I have scrambled the column names given below.

        <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function(){
            alert("enteredJqgrid");
          $("#deliveryJqgrid").jqGrid({
            url:'deliveryJqgridData',
            datatype: 'xml',
            mtype: 'GET',
            colNames:['1Col','2Col', '3Col','4Col','5Col','6Col'],
            colModel :[ 
              {name:'1Col', index:'1Col', width:55}, 
              {name:'2Col', index:'2Col', width:90}, 
              {name:'3Col', index:'3Col', width:80, align:'left'}, 
              {name:'4Col', index:'4Col', width:80, align:'left'}, 
              {name:'5Col', index:'5Col', width:80, align:'left'}, 
              {name:'6Col', index:'6Col', width:150, sortable:false} 
            ],
            pager: '#deliveryJqgridPager',
            rowNum:10,
            rowList:[10,20,30],
            sortname: '1Col',
            sortorder: 'asc',
            viewrecords: true,
            caption: 'Delivery List - JQ Grid'
          }); 
        }); 
    </script>        

I have the below div tags in body section.

        <table id="deliveryJqgrid"></table> 
    <div id="deliveryJqgridPager"></div>    

Thanks for your help in advance. Update

I found the following error on Firebug. Does this give any clue?

b.jgrid.format is not a function 

[Break On This Error] m+"'>"+b.jgrid.format(a.p.pgtext||"","... class='ui-separator'></span></td>"+

I found the problem. I was loading /jquery.jqGrid.min.js before i18n/grid.locale-en.js in my script tag. I reversed the order and it worked!

Thanks to everyone for their patience in helping me through this silly mistake :)

try with

$("#deliveryJqgrid").jqGrid({
    url: '/myapp/deliveryJqgridData',
    ...
});

EDIT:

Used your code in one of my pages and is correctly invoking the server script. I get 404 because I dont have it as you can see
