Massimo, Thx for the response - however that's the html table approach (not what I would call a real datagrid).
I was really looking for a more dynamic/Web 2.0 approach using a browser based ( jquery/other) datagrid. I was envisioning returning data in json format and then having that rendered in a client/browser grid control. A datagrid would allow a user to click on column header and sort the data (w/o sending a server refresh request). Since the presentation style is dictated by business rules ( e.g. rules for overdue book, payments etc can vary) assigning a css style to each cell in the view may make sense - however I'm not sure how that could work with json/jquery. Maybe I'm on a fool's errand here, but I've done this a lot with client/server and desktop apps ( and with Adobe Flex/Actionscript) , but I have not seen a (non HTML) browser implementation of this.
