You can actually use a CellWidgets and render any HTML content you like (divs, spans,etc). You are not bound to row/column like representations. For example I used CellWidgets to create "information cards" (containing some text and a picture and some links). You can then drop the CellWidgets anywhere you like.
Or you can also implement your own CellTableBuilder to create your own representations that doesn't rely on tables/td/trs On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 9:18 AM, stuckagain <david.no...@gmail.com> wrote: > I glanced at the CellWidgets and Cell.Context class and it does look too > much row/column based to me. > > I am still not convinced that this is what I need, but I will try and > setup some proof of concept to use CellWidgets.
