Try Flexigrid! http://webplicity.net/flexigrid/
This jQuery plugin is a Lightweight but rich data grid with resizable columns and a scrolling data to match the headers, plus an ability to connect to an json/xml based data source using Ajax to load the content. If you need any help implementing it, just contact me or take a look at the Flexigrid discussion on CodeIgniter forums: http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/75326/ There are several examples that you can use. Let me know if this is what you're looking for!
