jQuery Grids - really simple

Everyone needs grids. But people make them too convoluted to implement. My solution uses a simple table, include a js, and css file. Then write you PHP method which just creates a new Grid object. Its all open source and really simple to implement.

complex queries - i can do complex joins, concat selects, its all really simple

Nice, but you should really check out Alpha Five v11 Web tool - does what you're trying to achieve without any coding (unless you want to) and soooo much more. But it is its own commercial application server, so not open source like php. But its very cheap and well worth it. In fact, check out Alpha Five just to get some ideas of how to improve your PHP framework.

@agillbb Interesting, you know at first glance I wouldn't even take a second look at these guys, their site, api's, styles, videos are all very windows 98 style. I'll check out some code and see if they are efficient.

@optikalefxx A5 won't be nearly as efficient as direct PHP coding with jQuery - heavily bloated in comparison, I guess. But that isn't really the measuring stick for many databased web apps whose goal is to behave more like desktop apps by using grids. Check out a overview of the older v10.

It is an amazing development tool, but you're locked in to using the A5 app server - a turn-off.

@agillbb Its an interesting concept that data web apps should be desktop like. The reason my company makes money is the inverse of this. We make things fully custom, because interfaces need to be optimized for whatever subject it is. That's why using desktop like interfaces doesn't really work for most (of my) clients.

It's not possible to publish here a web address with my table for you to check the "loading bar" always visible?

Thanks,

Hi again. I supposed I have a misspleling code, but check and it's working fine now. The only problem I have is the "Loading bar" that is always visible. Any help is appreciated.

Please check your table with my database on it :

Best regards,

Mário

Its really nice... thanks for the good work. your stuff works for php folks, do you have any plan of making it work with any other frameworks like a .net one or struts framework for java guys, if you have plans, could you point us to the resources?

Thanks much
