There's much more work being done in javascript tables these days than in backend software. Unfortunately, I've never found a good matrix to compare features between the various 'data table' or 'data grid' implementations. I did start evaluating a lot a while back, but the problem is that you have go go through them all to figure out what the different features might be, and then go back through a second time to see which ones might implement those features. The second problem is that some are implemented as part of a given JS framework (eg, ExtJS), while other toolkits might have a dozen different 'data table' implementations (eg, jQuery). -Joe ps. and as this wasn't a feature that I was looking for, this wasn't something that I tracked when I did my analysis. I was looking for things like scaling to a thousand rows w/ 20 columns, rearranging/hiding columns, etc.
