The reason i need to put a control in a cell is because i have to display xml data in a cell and planned on using JSTree to display the xml.  I planned on just embedding the control directly inside the page.

Thanks for any help

I have the need to place a custom contol inside a jqgrid column, I have tried to generate the required html inside the custom formatter method.   For example to render a datepicker in a cell i have tried the code below.  But what i cannot figure out is what object to append the new <div> to.

If there is an alternative method to embed a control inside a cell i would really appreciate it. 

Thanks in advance

function MyFormatFunction(cellval, opts, rwdat, _act)
{
   var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
   newdiv.setAttribute('id', "SOMEIDTHATWONTCLASH");
   [what object ref would go here to].appendChild(newdiv);
   $("SOMEIDTHATWONTCLASH").datepicker( .... ).html  
}

colModel: [
          {
            name: 'ColumnWithControl',
            formatter: MyFormatFunction
          }]
