Hi,
recently, I ve been strugling with django (having a good time) and
meanwhile, I tried to find and use a grid.
I found dhtmlx thx to django-users forum.
Now, I think best approah will be structering grid using xml output.
Below u will find what kind xml, dhtmlx needs.
dhtmlgrid needs a xml output like follows,
"""

Currently I cant produce this, But What I do is to creat and xml and return
it.
my view

total = Material.objects.all().count()

Do you think best approach would be to keep doing same thing just, change
the way I create xml, using a module or something or something else, I saw
django xml serialization, but couldnt figure out, how to use.
thx.
