Thanks for your quick reply.  I will definitely check out jqGrid.  Another 
CakePHP developer also pointed out jQueryUI and really likes it but I 
haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet either.

I will checkout using an array in Koolgrid too.  I only looked at Query 
because the Koolgrid examples all show using SQL for the datasource. 
 Koolgrid says it supports the CakePHP framework (as well as Zend, Yii and 
Joomla) but I haven't found any useful documentation or examples for using 
it with CakePHP. I am hoping their support/development team will come 
through with all the details but so far they have not.  I have the test 
form in a very stripped down View .  It isn't a "real" one I was just 
trying to get the minimum information just to get it to work.  

I have the Controller working well I think and the files in the Vendor 
folder.  My only task now is to finally get it to work in a View and then I 
think all the rest will fall into place.
