[Dojo-interest] What do you use Grid for?

[Peter Svensson]

Aaargh!  I didn't know / managed to not read that part. I have spent the
best part of a week *almost* instantiating dijits inside a unecessarily
complciated composite dijit I tried to make for a custioemr (yes a
frankenstein shopping cart. How did you guess? :) This makes things a bit
different again. Hmm. widgetsInTemplate:true, you say. I'm all for it.

Very glad to hear that not only is there action to create an easy-to-use ST
alternative for the entry-level users, but also (actually quite analog with
the rest of dojo) a complete solution with emphasis on generality. Good to
hear that.

Cheers,
PS
