jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Tony,

I'm having a problem with the formatter: 'select' and the GridToForm method (I'm using a custom form for editing).  If I include the formatter: 'select' in the colModel for the row the data displays properly in the column, however, when I attempt to edit the row the correct selection does not show up in the form.  If I remove the formatter:'select' option from the colModel, the data shows up as numbers in the grid (the actual values) but the form works perfectly.

Using ver 3.6.2

colModel code:  {name:'dc_display_type', index:'dc_display_type', id:124, hidden:false, width: 89, align: 'left', label: 'Disp Type', formatter:'select', stype:'select', editoptions:{value:'0:Text; 1:TextArea; 2:Numeric; 3:Date; 4:Time; 5:Timestamp; 6:SelectText; 7:SelectSQL; 8:SelectTable'}, editable:true},

html form code: <select id=”dc_display_type” name=”dc_display_type” class=”enter”><option value='0'>Text</option><option value='1'>TextArea</option><option value='2'>Numeric</option><option value='3'>Date</option><option value='4'>Time</option><option value='5'>Timestamp</option><option value='6'>SelectText</option><option value='7'>SelectSQL</option><option value='8'>SelectTable</option></select>

Thank you for your help!

Further:  I did find a work-around (but I don't believe it should be necessary from the docs):

colModel code: {name:'dc_display_type', index:'dc_display_type', id:124, hidden:false, width: 89, align: 'left', label: 'Disp Type',
       formatter: formatTest, edittype:'select', stype:'select',
       editoptions:{"value":{'0':'Text', '1':'TextArea', '2':'Numeric','6':'SelectText'}}, editable:true},

formatTest function: function formatTest(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
    return options.colModel.editoptions.value[cellvalue];
}

This works exactly as I had hoped.  Is this the way it's supposed to be done?

Thanks!
