Thanks everyone for the info. Turns out the distinction I was drawing was somewhat<div>spurious. There is not built-in store update for the Ext JS grid either, you have to</div><div>apply your own. Just the Ext JS docs are better and the Cat tutorial made it seem</div><div>so easy. :) [Though there are a few typos in it, code and English, and the trailing</div><div>commas in the JS will break "some" parsers; if I have time, I'll send an errata].</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I'm gonna hoe the row in YUI and apply pieces of Ext JS, I hope, down the road</div><div>when everything is running.</div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 27, 2008, at 7:03 AM, J.

In the current form YUI's DataTable just isn't going to cut it and you won't be happy with it.
