That is because jqgrid loads limited amount of data per request, i am doing this with datatables. And I am working to incorporaye it to the plugin. http://www.datatables.net/examples/server_side/pipeline.html Take a look at other server side examples > supports progressive loading (without paging , it does ajax to load while > scrolling down). I do not see those features exist in datatables. Datatables has API events for pagination, its just a matter of javaScript scrolling events calling pagination events. Can be done with datatables. http://www.datatables.net/development/pagination As I said, I just started a plugin 6 days ago, this was released soon to be in WAE. It is pre-alpha version. Too much work in progress. I hope this could be quickly as jqgrid. Bruno
