I know afterCellEdit is supposed to be after the tag is in place, but when I print the html of the cell during the callback it shows no textarea.. just what was there to start.
As I see it the dataInit function passes you the element but it isn't in context.. therefore you can edit the element (change attributes of the element, callbacks, etc.. of in this case the textarea) but you can't change what the element is.
A configurable HTML editor, like TinyMCE or FCKEdit or maybe something simpler as long as I can configure it to have those character tags I need (em, strong, sub/superscript, maybe a few others).
OK after stepping through the constructor.. I realized that I had to set repeatItems in the xmlreader to false, then it started to partially work.. but [macro] is not getting the attribute to fill that first column.. hrmm..
OK I checked with that exact code and the copy of stringToDoc (still not sure why it isn't accessible) and it worked fine (showed Document in the log).
I just formatted the jqGrid.min and I'll try to see a little closer where things are going awry.
