Edit field data before editor starts

Maikel

My data in the table (data loaded from dom) can have some html tags inside the tables.

I want to strip these tags before the editor initializes an edit form. Because if the html for example has another css class, the editor thinks the data is different, but the actual text is the same.

Is there an event i can use to get this working?

You could possibly use initEdit for that. However, if you can strip out the HTML and then use columns.render to render the HTML in, that would possibly be a better option.

hmm,
but columns.render works on the table.

I only want to filter the html out for the editor, not in the table itself.

Yes, my point is that if you have the raw data in the table, when Editor reads it, it will get that raw data. But DataTables has the option of "rendering" that raw data when displaying it.
