Another jqGrid event fires when the row is selected that calls selectLoan and it passes in the primary key I set in gridLoadComplete. I have a settings object that holds my settings and URLs so I take that URL and add in the ID (so the URL ends up being something like /Controller/Action/Edit/1)

I may try something like that also, although this is still hard for me. I've been able to achieve partial success with flexigrid. Partial, because I have now the following problem - I only want a few columns in the grid, but I want to see all columns in the add/edit. I didn't find a lot of examples. One example I used initially is too simple and another one is too complex for me (besides, it is still not what I need anyway).

That's the complex stuff I found http://www.ienablemuch.com/2011/11/flexigrid-crudinline-form-with-aspnet.html

On Friday Dorin pointed me to http://www.datatables.net/examples/ and this seems like a great and simplest (minimal coding required) way to get the nice grid, so I plan to try it also. I got caught up in a different issue while I was thinking of switching - how to properly add them to the project (using CDN). This led me to a different blog about bundles config which in turn presented a new problem of not being able to simply provide a CDN directory for all jquery files.
