[Catalyst] OT: YUI v Ext JS

[Octavian Rasnita]

I've visited, but I saw that it doesn't create an html table, but just some 
data arranged to look like a table.
So it is not very accessible for those who use screen readers.

The World Wide Web Consortium recommends not to use a table for layout, but 
to use a table for tabular data, and not other ways.

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.
