Hello,
We are starting a new ASP.NET MVC application and want to use an jQuery Ajax grid.
I came across following options: - jqGrid (better than Flexigrid because it supports editable cells) - Flexigrid (looks better than jqGrid) - tablesorter - Ingrid - jqGridView - OTHERS?
Which is the best choice for jQuery Ajax grid ? Which is the most popular jQuery grid/table ?
Thank You.
For flat view-only grids I would simply use a tablesorter. Once you configure your CSS properly, it can look great, support sorting, alternating colors, etc.
If you need editing, I would go with jqGrid. I experienced several issues with Flexigrid and (as you can see) it is not that actively maintained. jqGrid, on the other hand, is being actively developed and inline with the jQuery UI components including themes support.
I am a fan of jQuery tablesorter, out of the options you listed.
Hi we just solved this problem on an application that we are currently building. I would strongly suggest using YUI datatable. I know your probably thinking 'but we are using just jquery' - at least have a squiz at this article, which is a very good rundown of its capabilities. I think that once you have included all the different jquery plugins to achieve a jQuery UI you could have the entire YUI library which is in my honest opinion far supirior. Also both jQuery and YUI live together in perfect harmony
I think the Telerik Grid could take the cake for best jQuery datatable and its oss!
If you need a mature grid control written in JavaScript, you may look at dhtmlxgrid, which can be binded to the .Net server-side by special connector extension. The grid doesn't conflict with jQuery and has very strong feature set.
