This is how it works with the columned data provider isnt it? The problem is that there is an impedence mismatch between the idataprovider which provides a flat list and the double dataview which tries to fit the flat list into a grid. The renderer imho fixes that.
Anyways, as I said, no point further discussing this if the current approach works for you. -Igor > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gili > Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 3:47 PM > To: wicket-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Wicket-user] Re: ColumnedDataProvider > startIndex problems > > > Why can't we just do this? > > <table wicket:id="grid" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> > <tr wicket:id="row"> > <td wicket:id="column">cell</td> > </tr> > </table> > > I mean, this way you don't need special renderers (you > just put all your stuff directly into the HTML file) and you > can still do either old HTML tables or CSS or whatever.
