Please bear with me as I’m completely new to this.
I downloaded the Standard Edition of dhtmlxGrid 3.5 today. On the editions comparison page (http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/editions.shtml) it says that you can serialize to CSV in standard edition. In the documentation files included with the download it says to use the serializeToCSV() function, but whenever I call that function it breaks.
When I started searching for help I found in the online documentation that serializeToCSV() is only available in the professional edition which seems to contradict the edition comparison page (http://docs.dhtmlx.com/doku.php?id=dhtmlxgrid:api_method_dhtmlxgridobject_serializetocsv).
So I’m now curious how one can go about saving the data if both the serialize() and serializeToCSV() functions are only available to the professional edition. Is there some other function that I could use to dump the grid data back to a javascript variable as a string?
Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 
Here is the test page I’m working with:
[code]
TEST<script src="codebase/dhtmlxcommon.js"></script>

var mygrid;
var csvstr="a,11,12,13,14,15\nb,21,22,23,24,25\nc,31,32,33,34,35";
function doInitGrid(){
mygrid = new dhtmlXGridObject('mygrid_container');
mygrid.setImagePath('./codebase/imgs/');
mygrid.setHeader(["Col 1","Col 2","Col 3","Col 4","Col 5"], null, ["","","text-align:center","text-align:center",""]);
mygrid.setColTypes("edtxt,edtxt,edtxt,edtxt,edtxt");
mygrid.setColAlign('left,left,center,center,left');
mygrid.setColSorting('str,str,str,str,str');
mygrid.setSkin("dhx_skyblue");
mygrid.attachEvent("onEditCell",doOnEditCell);
mygrid.attachEvent("onGridReconstructed", doOnGridReconstruction);
mygrid.init();
mygrid.parse(csvstr,"csv");
}
function addRow(){
var newId = (new Date()).valueOf();
mygrid.addRow(newId,"",mygrid.getRowsNum());
mygrid.selectRow(mygrid.getRowIndex(newId),false,false,true);
}
function removeRow(){
var selId = mygrid.getSelectedId();
mygrid.deleteRow(selId);
}
function doOnEditCell(stage,rId,cInd,nValue,oValue){
if (stage == 2 && nValue != oValue) {
updateOutput();
}
}
function doOnGridReconstruction(grid_obj) {
updateOutput();
}
function updateOutput() {
alert("start"); // <------ THIS ALWAYS FIRES AS EXPECTED.
csvstr = mygrid.serializeToCSV();
alert("finish"); // <------ THIS NEVER FIRES.
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = csvstr;
}
