Images in image cells in grid are not rendered when using formatCellValue

[genev]

The following code renders images correctly in the ListGrid:

{name:"country_abbr",title:"Country",type:"image",imageURLPrefix:"../images/countries/",imageURLSuffix:".gif",width:50},

However, adding formatCellValue() makes images disappear and only actual string values to be shown instead:

function countryFormat(value){
 return value;  //for the purpose of this test case, this function does nothing, just returns the same value
}

{name:"country_abbr",title:"Country",formatCellValue:"countryFormat(value)",type:"image",imageURLPrefix:"../images/countries/",imageURLSuffix:".gif",width:50},

In this example countryFormat() only returns the same value but still images are not getting rendered.

Reproducible on all major browsers (IE, FF, Chrome).
Smartclient 8.2 Pro (SmartClient_v82p_2012-05-21_Pro).


Also, is it possible to display two or three images in a single grid cell?
