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.

Any further thoughts?
