jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi,

I am new to JQgrid and I am using xml string as data. i create the xml string on the backend and them pass it to the jqgrid.

I want to have some hyperlinks in my xml document but the problem is the jqgrid does not seem to recognize anything inside my cdata tags . I also tried to use xlink but when i include the xlink namespace i.e. <homepages xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> as a part of my xmlstring, the grid fails to load !

I have to use xmlstring as otherwise i'll have to change my entire backend.

please help,

thanks
