title: jqgrid, export to excel (with current filter post data) in an asp.net-mvc site
body: <p>i have an asp.net-mvc web page and i am using jqgrid on the front end.   i want to have an export to excel button that will export the current set of data (based on the current filter).</p>
  
  <p>i already use the toolbar filter so i see that the filter settings are stored in post data but i can't figure out how to create a method that will pass along all of the filter settings / rules to the server from jqgrid.</p>
  
  <p>i see a bunch of jqgrid "export to excel" example after googling but <a href="http://www.highoncoding.com/Articles/566_JQuery_jqGrid_Export_to_Excel_Using_ASP_NET_MVC_Framework.aspx" rel="nofollow">similar to this example</a>, none of them seem to be passing the filter information to the serverside.</p>
