getting html value with getCell jqgrid

Question

long story short, when I'm trying to get value of any column with this

var Id=jQuery("#grid").jqGrid('getCell',id,'Id');

I'm getting this value

<INPUT style="WIDTH: 98%" id=2_Id class=editable role=textbox value=86 name=Id>

and i"m expecting 86 only. any guess what is wrong?

yea, i have looked there, but with this method i'm supposed to get 86 not html..any idea why is it coming? — Piyush Sardana, Jul 16 '12 at 07:51
Hiya, I think you need to grab the `value` attribute try - `.val()` or `.prop('value')` — Tats_innit, Jul 16 '12 at 08:10
if i try to go with .val() i get a javascript error that object not supported — Piyush Sardana, Jul 16 '12 at 08:36

Its getting the content inside as text, which in this case is the control. You can use

var Id=jQuery("#grid").jqGrid('getCell',id,'Id').attr("value");

if that suffices.

var rowData = $("#jqGridTableId").getRowData(rowId);

rowData will be like: Object {seriesId: "", name: "<input type='text' value='Initial Jobless Claims' id='txtChartSeriesName_0'">}

To get value of this html element from rowData....you can have a simple code like: $(rowData.name).val()
