After I quit looking into the Ext JS library because of the license problems, I wanted to use another AJAX framework which comes bundled with nice widgets. Before I started with Ext I had already looked into The Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI) but preferred Ext that time. So switching back to YUI makes sense... The only reason I was hesitating was because of Yahoo's possible takeover by Microsoft as it would be uncertain what would happen to YUI on the short and long term. The news that the deal between Microsoft and Yahoo seems to be off the table definitely, made my choise to use YUI easy. Today I created an example on how to use YUI's DataTable within a Grails application.
