![]() ![]() Data is filled starting from a JS object, calling methods, or from an html table. light edit: here the focus is given to the “editing agility”, every row is always in editing status, search and sort are rarely available and in any case working on a limited set of rows isn’t a real limitation.Data binding is made through XML or Json, depending the language supported server-side data driven: these are generally components with all the features needed for listing a large number for rows, with server-side pagination, scrolling, search and sort functionality generally are lacking editing functionality, or when the feature is present is single row based, reflecting the fact that there is an underlying database. ![]() are for the moment not the crucial points as the amount of information I need to manage is limited and a totally client side solution would be acceptable.Īctually the implementations I found can be classified in three main groups: Server side aspects as pagination, sorting, CRUD etc. Of course it is not only romantic surfing, I needed to edit data to fill the graph snipplet for Patapage, so there are some “nice to have” requirements: to be free of charge, light, based on jQuery, appealing.

When I was a VB programmer, oh yes, I have this dark spot on my career, and it is not the only one… this request threw me in panic.
