Javascript implementation of advanced datagrid?

Question

I am looking for a datagrid which can show hierarchical information. I don't need it to be ajax driven ... can simply even be from static data embedded in HTML.

Answer 1

Although I don't like YUI for most things, their DataTable widget is actually pretty good and useful.

What type of hierarchical information do you want to display?

Answer 2

Take a look at ExtJs. May be a resource hog though.

Answer 3

DataTables is amazing: http://www.datatables.net/ the best by far that I have used.

It uses simple HTML tables, or ajax etc.

It is hard to directly answer your question since I don't know what sort of hierarchies you have but I've used it for simple hierarchical relationships and the grouping feature might help you ...

Somewhat related: You might want to look into jsPlumb. It's a very neat way to graphically show hierarchies

Take a look at this ExtJS example... maybe what you are looking for:
