The Java GRID Component can be used in Java applets and in Java applications including Swing applications. The component is fully compatible with Java 1.1 and higher, and has a very small footprint (less than 15 Kb). The grid component is highly configurable and has a very developer friendly API.

The grid is also available as a ready-to-use applet. This means that not a single line of programming is needed to embed the grid in your web pages/web applications. In this case the visual appearance of the grid, the overall structure, and the data fetching is totally controlled by the parameters that you provide in the APPLET tag.

Another powerful feature of the out-of-the-box grid applet is that you can bind the grid events of your interest to your own JavaScript functions. The other way around is also possible. From within JavaScript functions you can change almost every aspect of the grid by simply calling the appropriate functions of the applet.
