JQGrid InlineNav delete option - jqgrid

Question

I am using "inlineNav" for my jqgrid. It has all the required features for Addition, edit, Cancel add. but cant find anything for deletion. I tried using "navGrid" delete but then that gives error "error Status: 'Not Found'. Error code: 404".
So can something be done about it?
#Oleg I am counting for your help!!
Following your suggestion I created this code but it is not working!! Can you tell me what went wrong:
var jsonData;
var jsonData1;
var dropdownVal;

"";
else

};

}
I am not providing any data but the same will come after it has been saved in the field and will be reloaded. But when I click on Add the form opens up and when I click on Submit after entering data it just stops. So can you tell me what must be wrong with my code!
Thanks for your help you are such a savior!!!

Answer 1

inlineNav don't support Delete button, but you can use the corresponding button from navGrid. The problem is only that navGrid add button which implemented by form editing and form editing don't support editing local grid (editurl: 'clientArray') out-of-the-box.
In the old answer I suggested one way how one can do implement delete operation in form editing. In the answer I posted even the way how form editing can be used with local data. Another answer contains updated code which work with the current version (4.4.1 and 4.4.4) of jqGrid. I recommend you to use delSettings from the answer.
