Hi!

Sorry but I don't quite understand how this one works..
beforeEditCell: function(id,name,val,iRow,iCol){

What I want to do is

1. Someone wants to edit a cell, and either clicks on it, uses enter or whatever
2. Before they get to edit the value, I want to change it using some logic (let's say it's a suggestion or something).
3. After they have decided what to save, I want to store that in the cell using afterSubmitCell or whatever, perhaps changing the value yet another time.

I've tried various approaches but it doesn't work :/ Am I able to control the editing this way?

I've tried return {val:'test'}; and such things like the other events use..

Btw everything is written locally to grid, no server involved here..

Hello,

Use beforeEditCell to get the value of the cell before editing. Store this in variable and then use beforeSaveCell to go back to original value - if I understand right.

Thanks Tony,

I understand this, but I want to decide the value of the input-element when the user clicks a cell, and also do something with when he saves. Example:

Value of cell = 12 monkeys
User click on cell, and gets <input name="id-celll" type="text" value="12" />
User hits enter to save "13" and the new cell value = 13 monkeys

I can store the two values in separate tags to be able to identify them. Example:
<span id="number">12</span> <span id="text">monkeys</span>

I know I can use two cells but I really can't do that in this case.

Nobody knows if this is possible?

I basically want to decide the value of the input showing up in the cell, and alter the value before saving it (last part should be OK I think..
