Hey Thomas, I've been working on a grid for awhile with the hope of creating a Rails component of it - I really want to try to use the clientside xslt approach for it, which I think could be done with XML, JSON, or whatever with the rowdata. Some other info about the columns would still need to come from somewhere. Right now, I'm extrapolating that information from a skeleton of xhtml before the first xslt transformation. Are you interested in developing this, or were you just mostly wondering if something already existed? Here's a test page for the clientside xslt (Sarissa is fast): http://development.finetooth.com/?p=15 Here's the grid "working" better- http://development.finetooth.com/?p=6 -l
