retrieve raw (non-HTML escaped) text after cellsave?

[argo]

I'm checking row values after the cellsave event and, if required, submitting them to the server to be updated. My pqgrid data comes from a json dataset loaded from the server when initialized. Here's an example of how I'm retrieving the updated data in the cellsave event:

var myUpdatedValue = ui.data[rowIndx].myProperty;

The problem is that the value returned from ui.data is the HTML escaped content. For example, if someone types an ampersand it come back as "&" rather than &. How can I retrieve the unescaped content of the cell?

pqGrid doesn't modify the data in any way, this might be due to default contenteditable editor in the grid.

Either you can unescape the content yourself

I found a link after a bit of googling http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3700326/decode-amp-back-to-in-javascript

or you can use custom editor i.e. input textbox or textarea.
