Javascript Grid that can handle sections in a table

Question

I am making an ASP.NET MVC application that lets a user design a questionnaire that other users can fill out.

Now, questionnaires, rather than just having a list of questions, often have sections or subsections that could have headings and not the other columns that an ordinary row (a question) would have.

I want a JS Grid that can handle sections and subsections elegantly. I tried using JQGrid, but there the options I have are limited to a "Grid as Subgrid" structure. The appearance becomes quite complex and unlike a questionnaire.

Is there a Javascript Grid or a JQuery plugin that can handle this? I can write my own HTML table as long as the JS app will format the table and will add some user-friendliness to the table.

Answer 1

Have you checked out ExtJS?

Specifically the "Grids" section on their "Examples" page. It might not be quite what you're looking for but they're very extensible and could probably be molded into what you want.

Answer 2

Ok, we decided to dump the plugins etc. and generate the HTML ourselves. Feels much more in control and we can set the design as we like.
