From 3.6 we introduce new API, which is similar to jQuery UI. Using the new API saves a namespace
conflicts with other plugins and make using jqGrid more natural in the code, showing that this is connected
with jqGrid methods.
The calling convension is
(jqgridelement).jqGrid( method ,parameter1,...,parameterN);
Where method is exiting jqGrid method
In the example above we do:
jQuery("#newapi").jqGrid('navGrid','#pnewapi',{edit:false,add:false,del:false});
To enjoy full of this API a new variable is used in $.jgrid namespace - called $.jgrid.no_legacy_api,
which default value is false. The variable should be set before including jqGrid Java Script file or
can be added in the language file.
