title: jqGrid Form Editing with drop downs - how to set initial value
body: <p>i have an object with 3 values</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>ID</li>
  <li>Abbreviation</li>
  <li>Description</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>in the jqGrid I set the grid up to display the Abbreviation.</p>
  
  <p>when I click to edit (using the Form Edit feature) I fill the drop down with the ID/Description combination of values via the edit options:</p>
  
  <pre><code>editoptions: { value: "ID1:Description1;ID2:Description2;...;IDN:DescriptionN" }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>how can I easily set the selected value in the drop down list, when all I have available to me in the grid is the Abbreviation?</p>
