Does anyone here have any experience of Grid.JS. This is a JavaScript grid that supports sortable columns and global search. I am thinking of using it in my next application, but I am a little worried about gaps in the documentation, and also that they don't appear to have an active support forum or other support options (which is understandable, given that the product is free).

I don't have any specific questions just now, but I would be interested in knowing how well known the product its.

. For simple tables it appears to be an excellent addition

I had thought of using it, but without a massive rewrite there is no way I could use it with my "random" inter-leaved tables.

Thanks for all your replies ...

Tom, I've just given Datatables.js a quick run-through. It looks good. I was able to get a very simple grid up and running quite easily, which is more than I could with Grid.js. Plus they see to have an active support forum. So I might go with that.

I'll work on this some more and report back.

Just to wind this up ....

I've pretty well finished the project for which I needed a sortable grid. I adopted Tom Slayton's suggestion - DataTables.js - and am very pleased with it. I'm only using a few of its features (mainly global searching, clickable column headers and pagination). As far as that goes, it's working well.

The documentation was a little hard to navigate. Everything was there that I needed to know, but it was sometimes hard to find. Apart from that, I'm happy to recommend it.
