jQuery jqGrid cannot get custom formatter radio buttons value

I've created a custom formatter to render a pair of radio buttons for a bool field in jqGrid using the radioButtonFormatter function below.

Also have radio button markup in the myelem function below which is the editoptions:custom_element call to retain the formatting when user clicks in the cell (but not directly on a radio button).

This much works, but if user then clicks out of the cell, the myvalue function which is wired to editoptions:custom_value does not return the value, in fact the 'value' parameter being passed in with 'elem' and 'operation' is empty if I alert it out... So we end up having values reset to 0,no when they should'nt be.

Cannot figure out why the value is not available in the myvalue function.

	
								
case 6: //Two Options

elType = "custom";
format = radioButtonFormatter;
objColumn = { Type: rData.new_Type.Value, name: rData.new_FieldName, width: rData.new_Width, align: align, editable: editable, bulkeditable: rData.new_bulkeditable, edittype: elType,editoptions:{custom_element: myelem, custom_value: myvalue}, formatter: format };
