- You need to use some kind of escaping the spacial characters in your xml. For example,
instead of:
<cell>
<select>
<option id="3" value="4">first_option</option>
<option id="4" value="4">second_option</option>
</select>
</cell>
you need:
<cell><![CDATA[<select><option id="3" value="4">first_option</option><option id="4" value="4">second_option</option></select>]]></cell>
Here is the tutorial about handling special chars in the xml: http://docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=others:special_characters_in_xml
- Also we are not recommending to use html inputs such way in your grid. You may try to use the "combo" exCell.
Here you can find a ready-working example:
