Datagrid without dependencies - datagrid

In one of my projects I have to use a datagrid that uses pure js. I came across few high performance grids on github. I never had to use them before so, came here for an advice which one to chose. I found a cool comparison http://jspreadsheets.com and I'm like 50/50 for first two options. Someone used slickgrid or handsontable? Thanks in advance.

Need to learn BootStrap for Angularjs?

I am basically a PHP developer, but interested in javascript, so learned angularjs and jquery by own. The recent update I got is only learning angular is not enough, need to learn bootstrap also. But I really scared of CSS, because need to deal with pixels and have to design such a way that it has to fit for any device.
Bootstrap does that, ok fine, but how to keep in mind those hundreds of css class names. Can you guys give me some tricks and clues on how to memorize the css classes. And what we have to know before designing a layout (Asking these silly question, because I am into css for the first time).
You don't need to keep in mind class names, you just have to know framework components purpose.
On first steps you just need to checkout BS components and feature list (grids, tables, buttons, js-features) and see how they work and how could be used in your projects.
Next step checkout show cases and examples - you will get to know how compose page using grids and how components works together.
On this stage you will have enough information to start develop with BS.
Later you will face a lot of issues for sure, but it will be concrete questions, which answers could be googled.

Rebol grid control

I am looking for an equivalent of a grid control in Rebol, to display some table data.
I came across this script: face-grid.r
...and its associated demo: face-grid-demo.r
This seems to be an excellent start. Does anyone know if there is some active and/or newer version of this grid, or something similar?
Depending what you need exactly.
Brett's datagrid is a bit basic. For example, it does not handle scrollers by itself.
Henrik has done a list-view with tons of features. Maybe it can be a choice for you :
list-view.
But there are also different list styles part of the VID extension kit from the same author.
Here is the list documentation.
All are for Rebol2.

Css div template

My biggest problem in developing web projects is appearance.
Is out there any kind of template divs?
I mean like ready-css boxes with maybe header-content separation which are customizable and beatiful.
I know how to make one of these but i don't have time to do different ones every now and then.
Thank you
Seeing as websites are always so different, I would recommend the 960 grid system.
It is a template structure that easily lets you create multi column layouts in any style you want. It takes a bit of getting used to, but in your case, it sounds like it could save a huge amount of time!
http://960.gs/
probably on par with the 960, the Blueprint framework works quite well and saves time.

This one is a little more extreme of a CSS framework, but it is a good idea:

Take a look, its pretty fascinating although i don't think it is that useful.

Infragistics WebGrid vs. Telerik Grid

I have been using the Infragistics UltraWebGrids for a few years now in multiple products, but have reached a crossroads with them. I have been looking into the Telerik products and they appear to perform better than the Infragistics grids in the demos.
The following are the things I'm looking to know.
1. Which would you use and why.
2. Which grid performs better.
3. Which product is quicker to implement.
4. Which product is easier to maintain.
Go Telerik. And if you get 80 more rep at the time of writing this you might get a free license.

I use Telerik at work. I use to use Infragistics a while back. Telerik is way easier to use and seems fast enough for me. I never had performance issues with them.
Clearly Telerik!
I work with their controls for years - and also with some competitor suites (what shall I do if the customer....)
Anyhow telerik was the best I ever used.
And it's so easy to use this thing - I blogged about it.

Last not least you will see the same editing cappabilities with their Silverlight suite sooner or later. This means there is such an Editor for Silverlight - but (at the moment) it has not all features.
Once I started using Teleriks Suite, I have NEVER looked anywhere else. It has everything I need hands down.
As everyone else has already pointed out Telerik are the way to go - with one caveat - make sure you take the support option too. Their documentation is really bad, the forums are slow (and responses take ages) but their support guys are excellent. Send them a repro and they'll send you back a working version within a day.
There is a couple comments of how bad Telerik's documentation. If you think Telerik is bad, you will most likely go crazy trying to find anything in Infragistics.
This question was asked a while ago but Telerik has came out with KendoUI now. Depending on what you need, I HIGHLY recommend that suite more than any.
See this blog post.

Telerik is easier to Infragistics.
And Infragistics MVC control does not "Menu" control yet.

Customising Flex Datagrid or alternative solutions

I'm currently building an application that is presenting tabular (fetched from a webservice) data and have squirted it into a datagrid - seemed the most obvious way to present it on screen.
I've now come across a few limitations in the datagrid and wonder how I might move forward. As a relative newcomer to flex development I'm a little lost.
A few things I am wanting to do.
The data is logically split into groups and I would like to be able to have subheadings in the grid whenever I move to a new group.
I would like to be able to highligh individual cells based on their content relative to other values in the row - ie highlight the cell with the highest value in the row.
Is this possible with the standard datagrid?
I'm actually using the try-before-you-buy version of flex builder at the moment but I have ordered Flex Builder 3 Pro - which is on its way to me. I understand there is an 'advanced datagrid' control in this version - perhaps that will support some of what I wish to do?
Alternatively - is there another way of building custom tabular data?
stay the hell away from Adobe's AdvancedDataGrid. You will learn quickly it has many shortcomings, you will think you are better than it and override a few things here, tweak a few things there, but in the end the ADG will absolutely destroy you. Heed my call and avoid this at all costs. The ADG was outsourced by Adobe to their failed Indian team that has sense been disbanded, it alone counts for over %30 of the entire flex framework, and their are horrible deeply rooted issues that are better off starting over at this point. STAY AWAY FROM THE ADVANCDEDDATAGRID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!
The DataGrid is the best bet for that, but also check out the AdvancedDataGrid (here are some AdvancedDataGrid Demos with Source from FarataSystems).
(source: flexicious.com)
Both the DataGrid and AdvancedDataGrid are notoriously hard to customize, and everything you'd like to do is pretty advanced, so it will take a while to get going, but you can do it eventually.
There's no other way to build tabular data unless you start doing some advanced things with some of the data visualization libraries out there.
Good luck,
Lance
