configure/initialize grid via xml

I know one can initialize the grid via xml - including headers, filters etc. Is it possible pre-load and filter data through xml as well? e.g. load the grid with a value already set in one or more filters and the data filtered?

Currently I can do this via javascript using:

	mygrid.load("gridload.php",function(){
		mygrid.getFilterElement(1).value="Demo";
		mygrid.getFilterElement(2).value="Junk";
		mygrid.getFilterElement(3).value="some textg";			
		mygrid.getFilterElement(4).value="a";			
		mygrid.filterByAll();
		}
	);

But I want to accomplish the same via XML instead, because of the architecture of the website.

The other requirement is that once the grid is loaded, the user must be able to remove the pre-set filters or change them.

Thanks,
Michael

on client side

mygrid.myhelper = function(ind,val){ mygrid.getFilterElemen(ind).value = val; } mygrid.load("gridload.php", { mygrid.filterByAll() });

on server side you can use
