Dojo's grid widget provides a fierce alternative to the paginated table that has become such a mainstay of modern-day Web application interfaces.
Wrapping Up

Although we barely scratched the surface of the DataGrid widget's utility or power, you hopefully have a good feel for some of the things you can do with it. Dojo's source code includes a number of useful examples that are bundled as tests, and they provide a great way to get rolling with more grid goodness. You also might drop by the #dojo IRC room on freenode.net to get some help or share what you're doing.
