dojox.grid.DataGrid using multiple store implementations.
This page demonstrates the Grid can display data accessed by dojo.data
implementing Datastores. Each of the datastores used stores data in a
different format, and as this test and demonstration page shows, the
logic for rendering the data is virtually identical. You define your
source store and then you define the layout, which maps the data
attribute names to columns in the grid. You can even perform
cusomization of what is displayed, as demonstrated in the
dojox.data.FlickrStore layout. The image url is displayed as a
clickable link that opens a new page.
The choice of stores used were ones that did not require back end
services to function for sake of simplicity. There is no reason that
dojox.data.QueryReadStore could not be used with grid as well, it just
requires a back end service to send it the query results.
