[Catalyst] OT: YUI v Ext JS

[Moritz Onken]

If you have a big table to display i'd recommend the ext extension  
live grid. You can see an example here: http://www.siteartwork.de/livegrid_demo/

it only retrieves the data you are seeing. Just scroll through the  
example and you'll see.

I like ext pretty much. There are some issues with scrollbars on a mac  
with firefox, but thats a firefox bug and not ext. So I guess YUI  
might have the same problem on macs.
