most recent version of Dojo 1.0 has a datatable control

<div class="dataTable" dojoType="dojox.wire.demos.TableContainer"

</div>dataHolder = {
//Simple object definition to get all items and sort it
by the attribute
'type'.
request: {query: {name: "*"}, onItem: function(item,
req){}, sort:
[{attribute: "type"}]},
//Spot to store off data values as they're generated by
the declarative
binding.
result: null
