Thanks everyone for the info. Turns out the distinction I was drawing
was somewhat
spurious. There is not built-in store update for the Ext JS grid
either, you have to
apply your own. Just the Ext JS docs are better and the Cat tutorial
made it seem
so easy. :) [Though there are a few typos in it, code and English,
and the trailing
commas in the JS will break "some" parsers; if I have time, I'll send
an errata].
I'm gonna hoe the row in YUI and apply pieces of Ext JS, I hope, down
the road
when everything is running.

Yes. Unless I'm missing something those changes are purely client-
side. It took *a lot* of searching to discover someone asking on a
YUI list the same basic question about server-side data updates and
being told, you have to update your own data store however you feel
like.

This is good advice. My only dilemma in the choosing for this part of
the app is that the manager might say, WTF? I thought we were gonna
use YUI? :)
Really use ExtJS's Grid. In the current form YUI's DataTable just
isn't going to cut it and you won't be happy with it. It's getting
attention from the YUI team, but it won't be for several more
releases that it starts to reach the base feature level that ExtJS
has built-in.
Keep in mind that ExtJS can use the YUI adapter, and then you just
have to build the Grid component JS so you don't need the entire
(massive) JS kit if you just want the Grid. Then your manager is
just told it is a YUI-based widget :)
