Whats a datagrid?
fetch mysql records and retrieving them in a grid view with edit option.
normally we use ordinary html tables to display the mysql records ..

i'll provide the links here..

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..
you only helped me regarding my project's database also..
thanx for hearing me time n again..

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?

None of them validate to W3C - they dont even try! Many multiples of errors!

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.

Xataface now has a DataGrid module built using the ExtJS library:

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

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.
