jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi

I've got a grid for cell editing and a few editors of type "select". What would be nice is if there is a function called $('#grid').toJsonString() or something.. anyway, I use the getDataIds and getDataRow methods and append each row to an array and I then do a json_encode of the array to pass it to my server page. I then wanna deserialise the json string to a specific type. My problem comes in with getDataRow returning the description of the select box and not the value which breaks the deserialisation. Is there another method for getting the selected value of the drop down. Any other ideas perhaps. I'm doing it this way because addRowData does not tag the tr as "edited". So getChangedCells('all') doesn't seem to work. There might be a similar topic raised called "obtain edittype select value from value:label pair"

Kind regards,

Roger
