Another possible solution is to use the grid option autoencode set to true, but you should take care in this case since:
When set to true the option encodes (html encode) the incoming (from server) and posted data (from editing modules). By example < will be converted and posted to <
It all depends how you get the data when you loop through it.
If you use getRowData or getCell methods the result should be the value of the select and not the text, since these methods automatically calls the needed function to get back the value.
If you use your own method to get the data the of course it will get what is displayed into the grid.
If you prefer to use your way of getting data we recommend you to use the build in jqGrid function $.unformat.select(value, options), where the value is the formated text from the select and the options are the colMoodel options for that field. Example:
No idea why is this. Suppose something wrong into the definition of the icon or the third grid has id identical to some of the other two or this is a css problem.
Without example demonstrating the problem we can not help.
This can be done different way, depending on the needs.
If I understand correct the requirement one possible solution is to join the two tables users and organisations by the user allowing the searching on user name.
