Hi Dave,

Yeah, the commercial Javascript grids or spreadsheets put a lot of work
into detecting the browser and acting accordingly. You still have to
worry about new releases, but since you control the Javascript, you can
easily update it when the vendor comes out with a fix.

I used one of the Javascript grid kits in a project about 5 years ago,
but my experience is probably outdated now. It worked well and looked
good, but the learning curve to do what I needed was a little steep.

They typically obfuscate their Javascript code, so making small
modifications to their code is a big headache. Sometimes you ca pay
more and get the Javascript code in un-obfuscated form. That is
something to look for in whichever kit you choose.

For your project, you might just want to use that and a servlet to
implement your project.
