title: Using jqGrid's emptyrecords option
body: <p>So I have this grid. It's a very nice grid. Lovely, really. Except when I have nothing to populate it with. In that case, I'd really like to display a message indicating that, "No URLs have been loaded for evaluation.", but either I'm missing something critical or the <code>emptyrecords</code> option isn't behaving the way I'd expect. Can someone point me in the right direction?</p>
  
  <pre><code>var pages = &lt;?php echo $json_encoded_array ?&gt;;
  
  $('#oversight-sample').jqGrid({
    altRows:   true,
    autowidth: true,
    caption:   'Evaluated URLs',
    colNames:  ['Actions', 'URL', 'Fetch Date'],
    colModel:  [
      { align: 'center', name: 'actions', index: 'actions', title: false, width: 60, resizable: false, sortable: false },
      { name: 'url', index: 'url', width: 400 },
      { align: 'center', name: 'created', index: 'created', width: 125, sorttype: 'date' }
    ],
    data:         pages,
    datatype:     'local',
    emptyrecords: 'No URLs have been loaded for evaluation.',
    forceFit:     true,
    height:       'auto',
    hoverrows:    true,
    sortname:     'created',
    pager:        '#url-pager',
    viewrecords:  true
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If records <em>do</em> exist, then everything looks about like I'd expect it to look. Is there something else I need to do to get the <code>emptyrecords</code> message to display when there are none?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using jqGrid 3.8.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
