Show HN: A souped-up HTML-based table

Why the special grid/row/cell tags and special data inpits? Why not just use a vanilla HTML table, then you would at least have graceful degradation?

Grids are the holy grail of corporate web programming. As a person that had to work with a few grid components, I can tell you that it is lacking lots of features to be considered mature. For example: editable cells, tree grid mode, r-click menu, grouping, nested rows and columns, etc. I do like the looks though. Have you tried to compare your grid's performance against a standard table-based grid (cross-browser of course) for large number of cells? For a list of functionalities expected from a grid, have a look of Telerik <a href="http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/overview/...</a> or Devexpress. Don't follow their ugly implementation though!

Nice, but is it responsive?<p>Trolling aside, I have to echo Taze's point: why not vanila HTML table? I'm asking since this is actually relevant to my interests and my latest project uses tables a lot. I don't think I'd use this yet because of the whole graceful degradation/progressive enhancement thing

Another great grid with these properties and more is the MIT licensed Slickgrid[1] with many example grids[2]<p>[1]<a href="https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/</a><p>[2]<a href="https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/wiki/Examples" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/wiki/Examples</a>

This doesn't seem better than jQuery datatables.

Agree with some other comments on here that this should probably be implemented with standard HTML tables as a fallback. Looks pretty good, though.

The sort is not stable. When I sort by W, I end up with Colts and then Rams. When I sort by L, at the bottom, I end up with Rams and then Colts.<p>When I sort by T, since they're all 0, I'd expect nothing to change, but the whole list inverts...<p>In general, it's very nice. I agree with TazeTSchnitzel's comment that it'd be awesome to have it pull data from a table, so that there's a fallback.

nice, though like all the others I've seen, it doesn't work when trying it with RTL direction.

Everyone hates ExtJS, many for good reasons, but their grid is better than any other.

I'm wondering what the checkboxes are for in the demo.
