I created a contract.
https://ropsten.etherscan.io/tx/0x74426948905cd6e70e8b9d64a660b3c179b7c8a224ca5cd0234842768eb501db
I can see the input Data in hex on etherscan. How can I decode from this? I want to see the raw contract or contract code so that I can confirm whether my contract is correct or not.
The transaction you point to did not create a contract (called deploying).
Did you use Mist or Parity wallet to 'deploy' the contract or did you simply send the byte data to an address via geth command line?
If you were trying to deploy the contract code, the to field would be 0x0. Because to is not 0x0 but just a regular (non-contract) account, the byte data in the input field is simply ignored (although it can be interpreted as a message).
If to is not 0x0 you aren't deploying a contract. If the address was a contract, Etherscan would indicate as much.
0x0. You should select my answer so others are not confused.

Are you sure that transaction is correct? Here is an example of a transaction to a contract in Etherscan.io. The "to" is recognized as a contract. Note that you might have the correct transaction; I'm just shooting in the dark.
to address is not a contract. I suspect the OP incorrectly sent byte code to an 'regular' address under the assumption that this was how one deploys a contract, which is not correct.

to address of a deployment should be '0x0'. I read the OP's original post (and other posts by same author) as saying that he deployed with the referenced transaction. (Which he/she didn't.) The same author posted this question (ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/21428/…) which has the same problem of no deployment.
