Replace jqGrid

We want to replace jQgrid with another similar jQuery library.

Why?

• Hard to exactly control and style the HTML, e.g. wrap something with a span tag
• Not maintained since the license changed
• ...more?

Wanted features

• Sort by column
• Inline edit or pop-up edit
• Fetch using Ajax
• Filter?
• Pagination
• GPL or MIT license (or another free licence like a speech)
• i18n

Suggestions

• handsontable, https://handsontable.com/
  • Antifeature : Filter data + Header tooltips + Fixing bottom rows are unfree
• datatables, https://www.datatables.net/
  • Antifeature :
    • inline edit are not free
  • Features
    • Sort by column : https://www.datatables.net/examples/basic_init/multi_col_sort.html
    • Fetch using Ajax : https://www.datatables.net/examples/ajax/
    • Filter : https://datatables.net/plug-ins/filtering/ (have done a filter on each column like 2.06 response some year ago, see an example here : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/331855/jQuery-DataTables-Advanced-Filtering-in-ASP-NET-MV).
    • Pagination : included
    • i18n : https://datatables.net/plug-ins/i18n/

Other notes

CPDB

CPDB uses jQgrid to open up - within the table - possibilities to edit attributes and surveys for one participant. This should probably be a dialog instead.

Dialog or inline

• Actual edit in token don't update link. And we have issue with some control. A dialog edit fix this 2 issue more easily.
• Alterantive : use http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/jeditable (still think dioalog editor is the best)
