I know that getRowData(id) works when you are not editing, but when editing, the only thing that works for me is data of type textarea.

For instance,

ret = jQuery(”#list”).getRowData(id);

alert( ret['SomeCheckBox'] + ” ” + ret['SomeTextBox'] + ” ” + ret['SomeTextArea']);

I would get an empty string for ret['SomeCheckBox'] or ret['SomeTextBox'], but I would get the correct the actual text for ret['SomeTextArea'].
