In my jqGrid I am defining editable column with edittype :'select'. I am using inline editing. I want to assign option element to this drop down with string

for example 

1:SA<br>21;2:SH<br>22;3:GT<br>23

When I assign such string to value attribute of editoptions of this column I am getting option element in drop down as follows SA undefined undefined SH undefined undefined GT undefined undefined

Can anybody suggest me how to overcome this problem.

I suppose that your problem can be solved by usage delimiter property which replace default ; separator used by jqGrid to any another symbol, for example to ? in the code below:

editoptions: {
    delimiter: "?",
    value: "1:SA&lt;br&gt;21?2:SH&lt;br&gt;22?3:GT&lt;br&gt;23"
}

Of cause you should replace additionally <br> to some encoded version like &lt;br&gt;.

UPDATED: The demo demonstrate that above suggestion works.

    @Shaggy: I can' t reproduce the problem which your describe. See **UPDATED** part of ma answer with working demo. – Oleg Jan 17 '14 at 20:05
  • Actually I was replacing the
    tag from server side string.Replace() which was causing
    to get replaced as &ltBR&gt. So i tried it replacing from javascript which worked perfectly for me. Thanks For your support.     – Shaggy Jan 20 '14 at 09:27
  • One more problem I would like to share with you [here] (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21230875/jqgrid-datatable-not-rendered-properly-in-ie8-with-jqgrid-version-4-5-4). Its related to jqGrid 4.5.4 compatibility with IE8 browser. – Shaggy Jan 20 '14 at 09:57

You have to do a replace on the <br> and make them \n

see this guys answer, maybe you can use his code to do the replacement

Look at JQuery's .html(), you will also be able to use that.

  • Thanks for your reply but I need to show there
    tag. I don't want content after br tag to be arear on new line. I tried replacing < with < & > with > but by ; jqGrid treats it as new option element to create.     – Shaggy Jan 17 '14 at 18:01
