DataTables ( http://datatables.net ) has some overlapping functionality, some of which is provided by plug-ins. For example KeyTable + Editor: http://editor.datatables.net/tutorials/keytable .

DataTables is what we're phasing out in favor of SlickGrid (most likely); it simply croaks when you have 1000's of rows...too many DOM objects in the browser.

Of course, the paged option might alleviate that somewhat, but requirements won't let me use that.

Have you taken a look at the deferred rendering and/or Scroller options for DataTables ( http://tinyurl.com/cr5usea and http://datatables.net/extras/scroller/ )? These can provide a significant speed increase - depending on your data source for the table and how you want to configure the table.

DataTables is the best single purpose javascript library I have ever used, and I used a ton. I love it.
