JQGrid data not being displayed - json

Question

I have this code for my jqrid. But the data is not getting displayed in grid. The grids gets generated but no data is being shown in the grid. Also I have applied error control but that gives me no error. The code is as follows:
$(document).ready(function () {
'use strict';
var expHeadVal = "12345:Party;12346:Miscellaneous;12347:Conveyance;12348:Staff Welfare";
var webForm = document.forms[0];
var i = 0;
var mydata = "";
var jsonData = {
"records": "4",
"userData":{
},
"rows":[
{"id":"1", "sdate":"2013-03-22","expHead":"Party","expAmt":"1000","expReason":"Yes","expRemark":"FedEx"},
{"id":"2", "sdate":"2013-03-21","expHead":"Conveyance","expAmt":"200","expReason":"Yes","expRemark":"FedEx"},
{"id":"3", "sdate":"2013-03-20","expHead":"Conveyance","expAmt":"165","expReason":"Yes","expRemark":"FedEx"},
{"id":"4", "sdate":"2013-03-11","expHead":"Staff Welfare","expAmt":"1653","expReason":"Yes","expRemark":"FeEx"}
]
}
// alert (jsonData.rows[3].id);
var $grid = $("#View1"),
initDateWithButton = function (elem) {
if (/^\d+%$/.test(elem.style.width)) {
// remove % from the searching toolbar
elem.style.width = '';
}
// to be able to use 'showOn' option of datepicker in advance searching dialog
// or in the editing we have to use setTimeout
setTimeout(function () {
$(elem).datepicker({
dateFormat: 'dd-M-yy',
showOn: 'button',
changeYear: true,
changeMonth: true,
showWeek: true,
showButtonPanel: true,
onClose: function (dateText, inst) {
inst.input.focus();
}
});
$(elem).next('button.ui-datepicker-trigger').button({
text: false,
icons: {primary: 'ui-icon-calculator'}
}).find('span.ui-button-text').css('padding', '0.1em');
}, 100);
},
numberTemplate = {
formatter: 'number',
align: 'right',
sorttype: 'number',
editable: true,
searchoptions: { sopt: ['eq', 'ne', 'lt', 'le', 'gt', 'ge', 'nu', 'nn', 'in', 'ni'] }},

},

$grid.jqGrid({

{name:'expHead', index:'expHead', width:150, editable:true, sorttype:'number',sortable:true, edittype:"select", editoptions:{value:expHeadVal}},

}
return true;
},
ondblClickRow: function (rowid, iRow, iCol, e) {
var p = this.p, $this = $(this);
// if the row are still non-selected
if ((p.multiselect && $.inArray(rowid, p.selarrrow) < 0) || rowid !== p.selrow)
{ $this.jqGrid("setSelection", rowid, true); }
$this.jqGrid('editRow', rowid, true, function () {
if (e.target.disabled)
{ e.target.disabled = false; }
$("input, select", e.target).focus();
});
return;
},
loadComplete: function () {
alert("OK");
},
loadError: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert('HTTP status code: ' + jqXHR.status + '\n' +
'textStatus: ' + textStatus + '\n' +
'errorThrown: ' + errorThrown);
alert('HTTP message body (jqXHR.responseText): ' + '\n' + jqXHR.responseText);
}
});
$grid.jqGrid('gridResize', { minWidth: 450, minHeight: 150 });
$grid.jqGrid('navGrid', '#pView1', {refreshstate: 'current', edit: false, add: false, del: false});
$grid.jqGrid('inlineNav',"#pView1");
});
Can anybody tell me what is missing here?
Thanks for your help in advance.

You should change data: jsonData to data: jsonData.rows because you use datatype: "local".
By the way jsonReader option will not used in case of datatype: "local". The format of data in jsonData.rows already corresponds default format of input data for datatype: "local". If you do will need to fill jqGrid having datatype: "local" with another format of data you should use localReader option instead of jsonReader (see the documentation).
