It doesn't seem that the comparison for checkOnUpdate is quite right when using a modal form.

If the field has a "&" in it, the grid handles it fine, but the editGridRow shows &

So a checkOnUpdate fails as the two are not equal.

In my php, I am doing a html_entity_decode when saving to the database, so the "&" looks like a "&" and not a "&" in my table.

For the moment, I have fixed it by replacing line 756 in grid.formedit.js with this:

if($.jgrid.htmlDecode(nObj[key]) != oObj[key]) {

Not sure if I am doing this right or not....maybe there is something more I should be doing to my data on the way to the grid?  But the grid seems to handle it just fine - it is just the editor that gets screwed up.

Thanks,

Jim
