Since it uses HTML_Table, you can specify a class attribute for the table.
Eventually you will be able to specify a class attribute for the td and tr
tags as well.
*** I just found a bug with this, so it doesn't work yet. It will work soon
though, so the answer is yes!
Also, I would like to take Markus Wolff's ideas of a "render" and also
render out the grid into pure CSS instead of an html table.
> 2.) I see the class has paging, but the example doesn't contain that
The paging is not complete, it still has a lot more work to be done. At the
moment it only generates links at the bottom of the table (this is bad in of
itself, it needs to be abstracted).
In my example I have 3 records, I set the limit to 2 records and you will
now see that there are 2 page links.
(nothing impressive here yet)
> 3.) I see it uses DB_DataObject (or can), but there's no example of that
I will add this to the example eventually ... I haven't even tested it, this
is still a new part of the datagrid that I am still planning out. I love
DB_DataObject so I want to allow full support of it!

Yes! I have added this to the example. At the moment, if you don't use
data for the column, it displays the title of the column as the link, this
is in my plan to improve :)

Thanks, I am trying my hardest to mimic the .net DataGrid approach

Me to, I was able to build a large scale MVC designed portal in pure PHP
with DB_DataObject in only 8 months with the help of 2 college students. It
saved me so much time!
