rowspan and json yield odd XML error

When applying rowspan via json I’m receiving the following error in v2.5 pro of dhtmlx.

Error type: LoadXML
Description: Incorrect XML

After that a javascript error occurs. From looking at the source code the failure is happening in a javascript method called: doXPath() in the dhtmlxcommon.js file. Odd that I’d see XML-based functions for json…

Anyhow, here’s my script includes, JSON snippet and source code.

Unfortunately JSON formate is incompatible with “rowspan” fucntionality.

Unfortunately the advice that I received this past November wasn’t correct:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1579

You are correct, this doesn’t work with inline JSON. However, if I ommit the “enableRowspan()” invokation and just use the “setRowspan()” method then I can achieve the end result. I do wish that your documentation was a bit more thorough in this regard.

Thank you for your response.
