Hi Tonio,

the grid is probably the least complete component of Jx in comparison  
to other frameworks.  It is currently in the state we need it to be in  
for what we use it for, but we have certainly discussed lots of ideas  
around the grid.

ExtJS has done an amazing job with their grid controls.  I am not a  
big fan of how they use the DOM to build their representations - I  
find it a very heavy handed approach - but it may well be that when we  
start to discuss how to implement sorting, grouping, editing etc that  
my approach will turn out to be very limiting and we will have to redo  
the code.

I am definitely looking for ideas on which features are most desirable  
for the grid so we can improve it (and willing bodies to help  
out!) ... on my short list are:

* automatic sizing of column widths based on data
* user-resizable column widths
* text alignment of data in cells
* editable cells
* sortable based on columns
* pagination

Cheers

Paul
