I hope that the demo created based on your JSON data and the jqGrid will help you to find the error in your code. Probably you just forgot to place the code which create the grid inside of jQuery(function(){/**/}) .
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
