That's interesting ... I was actually thinking with the different renderers
that it may not belong in the HTML family either, even though my main goal
is for it's html purpose.
But since it doesn't directly handle databases, I don't think it belongs in
DB.
I don't know enough about the Structure family, but could that be an
appropriate location?
I would eventually like to rewrite the core structure of the datagrid into C
to offer the PHP community a strong competitor to the ASP.NET DataGrid; in
which it would belong in the PECL library.
But back to my main concern, I would really like to hear more comments from
others about their thoughts on this package.
Thanks again
Andrew
