Thanks for the links.

Us developers do that sort of thing all the time.

Are you not a php developer? Its not that hard to code one. Might take a few days but not hard. If you wanted to be fancy too, complete it in standard php, then add JQuery (ajax) and then make it really slick - and therefore will downgrades gracefully too :) . Progressive enhancement...thats what I am talking about :lol:

yes of course!

i even developed a javascript spreadsheet which is an alternative to google spreadsheets..
but here the problem is, i dun've enough time to develope a new one..

even though we've its not possible to develope each n every thing..a developer should also think abt the resources, so i decided to get it from net..

i hope you understand my problem jaoudestudios..

I dont know of any free ones.

But i am tempted to write one :), one that beats the rest! And open source ofcourse.

How do you expect it to work? Only connecting to 1 database table?

Alot of the code is probably server side, so it wont be possible to rip it from the website. Also when you download the demo, I am sure it is a limit version i.e. not all the code.

I hate to state the obvious, but did you try a google search - may be someone else has posted somewhere?

Its not that expensive to buy it, I think I remember seeing it for $30.

However, I am tempted to write one and make it completely opensource. That way each developer can modify it accordingly - I will have a think and keep you posted.

I vote for ExtJS too :)
We had a related discussion here:

and finally take a look at http://www.siteartwork.de/livegrid/

pavanpuligandla, you will be happy to know I have started on a datagrid. I dont know when it will be finished though. My plan is to progressively enhance it, so that it downgrades gracefully.

Phase 1
xhtml,css,php,mysql (inc. sort, add/edit/delete etc...)

Phase 2
Jquery (ajax, lightbox - add/edit/delete, sort etc...)

Phase 3
Expand data feed, mysql query, xml, json, csv etc...

Phase 4
Extras. i.e. drag and drop columns etc

The order above might change, it is just my initial thoughts.

I will keep you posted with my progress. It is in my SVN repository, so when I create a beta release I will let you know so you can do a checkout and have a play.

If you could write down a list of requirements, i.e. sort, add/edit/delete, even drag and drop. Make the list as full as possible then I can prioritise.
