navGrid not working with JQGrid

Question

I have a asp.net MVC app and I'm trying to get the jqgrid 3.5 to work in it. My grid does not use paging features but I want to use the page navigator bar for edit buttons. My grid within a jquery tab control on a content page. Displaying my data works fine in the grid but when I add the .navGrid() extension and options to it it breaks the display of the grid (tabs go away) and no buttons are displayed. Here is my grid declaration - can anyone see what I'm missing. Or is there a way to determine what is causing this to break. I'm pretty desparate to get this working - Thanks in advance.

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery("#sandgrid").jqGrid({
        url: '/EquipTrack/GridData/',

    editurl: '/EquipTrack/Edit/',

        mtype: 'GET',

        width: 755,
        rowNum: 5000,
        colNames: ['ID', 'Type', 'Make', 'Model', 'Year', 'Location', 'Insp Due', 'Serv Due', 'Miles/Hrs', 'Milage Dt', 'Reg By', 'Mngd By', 'Tag Exp',''],
        colModel: [

        afterInsertRow: function(rowid, rowdata, rowelem) {
            if (rowelem[13] == 'SET_RED') {
                jQuery("#sandgrid").setCell(rowid, 'insp_due_dt', '', { color: 'red' })
            }
        },
        viewrecords: true,
        pager: jQuery('#sandgridp'),
        caption: 'Inventory'

    }).navGrid('#sandgridp',
     {view:true}, //options
      {height:290,reloadAfterSubmit:false, jqModal:false, closeOnEscape:true, bottominfo:"Fields marked with (*) are required"}, // edit options
      {height:290,reloadAfterSubmit:false,jqModal:false, closeOnEscape:true,bottominfo:"Fields marked with (*) are required"}, // add options
      {reloadAfterSubmit:false,jqModal:false, closeOnEscape:true}, // del options
      {closeOnEscape:true}, // search options
      {height: 250, jqModal: false, closeOnEscape: true} // view options
      );

    $('#sandgridp_center').remove();
    $('#sandgridp_right').remove();
});

Answer 1

OK - Tried playing with the syntax from other posted examples and got it to work - notice no view options.

 }).navGrid('#sandgridp',
{}, //options
{reloadAfterSubmit:false}, // edit options
{reloadAfterSubmit:false}, // add options
{reloadAfterSubmit:false}, // del options
{} // search options
);

Make sure you include the Form Editing Search feature in your download; otherwise, the navGrid function won't be defined.
