creating a data grid in javascript

Question

Hi,

I want to know if there is an API to create a datagrid like here:

Answer 1

There are several:

• jqGrid
• Flexigrid
• YUI Data Table

As well as many others...

My personal favorite is jqGrid, which is extremely flexible and can do pretty much everything you need. On the other hand the API can be a bit overwhelming when you are first getting started. You also might be interested in jqGrid-PHP which is integrated with your server-side PHP code - but it is not free.

Answer 2

From these:

I choose http://www.datatables.net/. It is extreme flexible, up to date and has a good documentation, well tested.

jqGrid is not free. And Flexigrid is two years old and comes with jQuery 1.2.x.
