I'm having funny filtering with the slickgrid 'widget'. It's reading the filter properly and reducing to the right number of rows but it appears to only be cutting down the number of rows displayed to match the number found to match the filter not properly removing the rows that don't match. I

I understand the view that Ajax / Lazy-Loading doesn't belong in the grid's code-base but I do think an example showing a basic form of this functionality would be a big help. I know I'd appreciate it.

Just wanted to give a big shoutout to slickgrid (http:// slickgrid.googlecode.com). I think Michael has nailed it. Totally. This is how a grid widget for jquery ui should be. The code looks super clean too. And promotes an MVC approach. The rendering technique employed is simply awesome.
