How to get a jqGrid cell value when in-line editing (getcell and getRowData returns the cell content and not the actuall value of the input element).

Answer

General function to get value of cell with given row id and cell id

Create in your js code function:

function getCellValue(rowId, cellId) {
    var cell = jQuery('#' + rowId + '_' + cellId);        
    var val = cell.val();
    return val;
}

Example of use:

var clientId = getCellValue(15, 'clientId');

Dodgy, but works.
