Custom pgtext always show an input type text, config to show only text

[fredsal]

is there a config to show pages just like recordtext, where you can put Page {} of {}, and it will show Page 1 of 5 only as text?,
is there any way to achieve that?

if it doesn't exist, it could be a feature,
actually if you put Page {0} of {1} on pgtext it shows an input Page <input class="ui-pg-input form-control" type="text" size="2" maxlength="7" value="1" role="textbox"> of 5

Actual behaivor

New behaivor?

On recordtext

I propose change the line

jqGrid/js/grid.base.js

Line 3363 in 863aa5d

$('.ui-pg-input',pgboxes).val(ts.p.page);

To

$('.ui-pg-input',pgboxes).val(ts.p.page).html(ts.p.page);
// Or 
$('.ui-pg-input',pgboxes)[$('.ui-pg-input',pgboxes).first().is(':input')?'val':'html'](ts.p.page);

Now it works using

{
     pgtext : "Page <span class='ui-pg-input'></span> of {1}",
}

Other way(longer)
Creating {2} with "sp_2_"+pgid

please, let me know if i have to do a PR for this

Hello,

Thank you for the recommendation.
I will look deeper in pager functions and will let you know what we can do.
