TableGrid is a free, open-source Force.com library, that provides users and developers a highly customizable, native-looking, sortable, filterable, editable Grid Visualforce component. This component can be used as an advanced, highly configurable (by developer and user) replacement of apex:pageBlockTables and Standard Related Lists.

• Native Salesforce.com Look And Feel
• Works as Standalone table grid or as an embedded replacement for Related List
• Works as replacement for Standard Lookup popups with <c:advancedLookup>
• Works for Standard and Custom SObjects
• Spreadsheet-like Cell-Editing
• Delete Muliple records
• Pagination with cutomizable page size
• Filter Builder UI to let users filter records
• Field Selection UI to let users customize columns
• Each user`s customizations can be auto-saved in a "database-cookie"

Please see components/tableGrid.component for a detailed description of all attributes. The following examples should give you enough information to get started.

	<apex:page standardController="Account">

This snippet is taken from the sample page pages/tableGridAdvancedLookup.page.

<apex:page standardController="Contact">    
    <apex:form>
    	...
	    <c:advancedLookup > 
	        <apex:inputField value="{!Contact.AccountId}" label="" />
	    </c:advancedLookup>
	    ...
	</apex:form>
</apex:page>

• Performance (loading, partial rerender, select rows,...)
  • Reduce Viewstate
  • Replace ActionSupport with Javascript Remoting
  • Reduce Markup-Size
• Allow for more than 10.000 result records: For pagination I am using the StandardSetController, which seems to have this restriction.
• Allow to filter also for read-only fields in FilterBuilder without loosing the context-sensitive input fields.
• Optionally replace pagination with Infinite Scroll.
• Fix Bugs:
  • FilterBuilder does not clear value field when switching field
  • Save/Delete selected buttons are not activated when checkbox is selected
  • ...

This library makes use of a number of third-party components:

• jQuery, the javascript library to make it easy to write javascript.
• jQuery UI, jQuery UI library
• jQuery BlockUI Plugin, the jQuery plugin blocking parts of the UI.
• Apex-Select-Option-Sorting, an Apex sort utility class for SelectOptions
