Hello,

Looks like it’s already in edit mode so content of cell (which is html input) is fetched.

Instead of following:
var val = jQuery(‘#list1’).jqGrid(‘getCell’, selr, ‘job_open’);

Use this:

var row = $('#list1').getRowData(selr);
alert(row["job_open"]);

I get the exact same answer from the alert.

I tried your scenario again and this behavior exist. One solution is to set the job_open field as editable:false. It will not change it in edit box and you will get the value by above both ways.

I don’t exactly understand if you want to keep job_open as editable and if it’s changed by the user in edit mode then behavior for job_status need to clarified.

This solution is acceptable and works for what I am trying to do.

Thanks for your time,

Tim
