Accepted Answer

you didn't set xml reader in your grid like.Grid need to expect xml ``` xmlReader: { repeatitems: false, root:"TradingResults",row:"TradingResult" } ``` and also set `xmlmap` for each column like ``` { name: 'Instrument', index: 'Instrument', width: 55,xmlmap:"Instrument" }, ``` Also did you include the DnR lib which is ``` ``` This one is important Update: Since this answer is getting much attention, here people may find additional information on jqgrid with xml data.
