title: jqGrid: How to use multiselect on different pages
body: <p>Simple question, hard to find an answer:</p>
  
  <p>If I try to select a row programmatically, I use this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#grid').jqGrid('setSelection', rowId);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that it only selects rows on current visible page. If <em>rowId</em> is on another page, it will not be selected.</p>
  
  <p>More info: My goal is to select multiple rows (spread on multiple pages) when page loads for the first time.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Rafael</p>
