How to get a jqGrid cell value when editing

Question

How to get a jqGrid cell value when in-line editing (getcell and getRowData returns the cell content and not the actuall value of the input element).

Answer 1

In order to get the cell value when in-line editing you need to capture this event(or another similar event, check documentation):

beforeSaveCell: function (rowid, celname, value, iRow, iCol) { }

In the value parameter you have the 'value' of the cell that was currently edited.

To get the the rest of the values in the row use getRowData()

I lost a lot of time with this, hope this helps.
