Actually to suamrize - jqGrid does not store the original value somewhere when a formatter is used.

Simple we do: What you get is what you put.

The thing to do this is a little bit tricky.

To the unformat function we pass - the textcontent, someoptions and the cell object,

So if you store somewhere in your content the original value as attribute in some element you can get it later using the cell object

I understand what is passed to the unformat function.

My question is how do we get the original value that was formatted with the format function?

For example:

My cellvalue holds text like: '<p>hello <b>Tony</b><p>'

I format it to show the text only: 'hello Tony'

and I wonder if I can refer to the original cellvalue from the unformat function?

Hope I am clear.

Thanks for your work and support

To the unformat function we pass the text - i.e we pass this -  $(element).text()

I created a formatter function for a rich text field that strip the html tags and leave only the text:

editorFormatter : function(cellvalue, options, rowobject) {
    var obj = $('<div>' + cellvalue + '</div>');
    return obj.text();

}

how can I get the original value in the unformat function?

Thanks,
