All about Grid/filteringtable/table

Hi,

Can someone let us know what is the history about filtering table and its replacements with regards to the dojo versions.

I know we had filtering table in dojo 0.4

What is the equivalent dijit widget for the filtering table in newwer dojo versions. (apart from dojox grid in dojo 1.1)

We know grid is promising but we are looking for a stable dijit widget, at the same time we like to know the enhancements done to the filtering table since dojo 0.4

Thanks

FilteringTable was dropped in favor of the Grid.

The only reason why Grid is living in DojoX and not in Dijit is because it doesn't fully meet the a11y requirements/standards that Dijit has, but this is being worked on.

A port of the FilteringTable *might* show up in time for the 1.2 release, but if it does it will also live in DojoX and will have some fairly major modifications/limitations that were hinted at with the original but will now be enforced (the main one being no support for nested widgets and probably no support for HTML form elements).

If you are looking for table functionality, you should definitely use the Grid.
