jqGrid Grouping Without Subgrids?

Question

Is it possible to group in jqgrid without using subgrids ? I just want a heading that spans all columns with the group title, not a subgrid with different headings. The only examples of grouping I can find seem to use a full subgrid.

Answer 1

jqGrid 3.8 now supports grouping without subgrids.

Answer 2

As Sonny noted, grouping is now part of jqGrid - you can see the demos on this page under Grouping.

Originally I thought you meant grouping of column headers, which is still not supported by jqGrid: jqGrid Forum - about-grouping-column-header. It would be a nice feature, though.
