title: jqGrid how to get selected text from a dropdown cell
body: <p>Here is the <code>colModel</code> for a cell that displays dropdown list. I am trying to get selected text in the dropdown</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>{name:'pdInstanceType', edittype:'select', formatter:'select', 
  editable:true, editoptions:{value:"1:Test1;2:Test2"}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The below code gives me the selected value(1 or 2) instead of text (Test1 or Test2)</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>jQuery("#tableId").jqGrid('getCell', rowId, 'pdInstanceType');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get the selected text? Greatly appreciate any inputs!</p>
