Answer 1

I suppose that you used screenshort of the demo which I created for the answer. In case if you have only the picture without the source code I included the full references (URLs).

If you use current version of jqGrid (4.5.2) I would modify a little the old demo. You can use additionally the trick described the answer. Depend of the options of jqGrid you could need to use either jsonReader or localReader or both to change undefined of 0 value of page to the string "0".

The new version of the demo you can find here.
