What is EditableGrid ?
EditableGrid is an open source Javascript library aimed at turning HTML tables into advanced editable components. It focuses on simplicity: only a few lines of code are required to get your first table up and running.
Genesis of this project
Originally, EditableGrid was a component developed to be used in T:metrack, our (great!) online time tracking and invoicing tool. Thereafter, this work has been factorized into an external library.
We think that this library can be useful in other web projects. This is why we chose to publish it under the GPL license.
In our daily business, we use a lot of open source software: Linux, Apache, PHP, the Zend Framework, jQuery, Firefox and many more. We believe in Open Source, and we would like to offer our small contribution.
If you use EditableGrid, feel free to tell us! The best motivation is to know that our work is used and appreciated.
