jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

In cell edit mode(cellEdit: true). The grid focus in the edit control when I click the cell. When I use custom edit control. The grid cannot focus in the edit control.

The grid will wrap the custom edit control with "<span>".  The grid should focus in the custom edit control , not the span.

case "custom" :

elem = document.createElement("span");

try {

if(jQuery.isFunction(options.custom_element)) {

var celm = options.custom_element.call(this,vl,options);

if(celm) {

celm = jQuery(celm).addClass("customelement").attr({id:options.id,name:options.name});

jQuery(elem).empty().append(celm);
