I need a version of a Grid with pagination instead of the scroll (because where I need to use it, it's embarrasing the scrolling when there is a huge amount of data). I would like to implement some version of this widget because I didn't find any way of doing what I want with the DataGrid of the Dojo 1.2. Can anyone help me out or give me some ideas to do this???
P.D. Sorry if I made some mistakes with my English writing, I'm just learning...
I need same...
I have the same requirement but... Bosses don't like scrolls because "the grid needs to show a lot of rows (sometimes more than 20K)" ¬¬, even if paging makes slower the user interface, so they want to do it with native ajax xhr... :´(.
Will be good if people of dojoland makes something like that...=D
P.D. Sorry for bad english, I'm just learning too...=p
pagination for grid
The grid supports a form of pagination where you can load a small number of results into it, then, as the user scrolls down, it automatically fetches the required chunks (or pages) of data. This is supported if you're using the right data store connected to it .. for example QueryReadStore supports that, and I believe JsonRestStore does, and probably some others. This is "paging" by using the grid's scrollbar .. not some sort of external "next page" links or anything like that.
You'll need to read up on the grid & stores and look at the documentation. Under Docs / Demos & Tutorials, there is something called "A Million Records In the Grid" where Matt Russell has an article. There are plenty of Forum posts here, if you search, for example:
http://www.dojotoolkit.org/forum/dojox-dojox/dojox-grid-support/has-anyo...
has a little info in it. Or, here's someone's with JsonRestStore & and Ruby on Rails & the grid:

That's right, I understand
That's right, I understand that, but that's exactly what I don't want to have in my application. I need a Grid with the classic "next page" links instead of the actual scrollers. For example, I think I could have the same Grid whithout the large scrollers for all data and below of it could be some kind of status bar with the "back page", "next page" and a textbox for writing any arbitrary page (it could be a combobox too). That's exactly why I need... Any ideas??

I've seen some stuff out on the web
Where people have added some paging to the grid (the 1.0/1.1-ish grids). Not sure how useful they will be to you, but might get you started ... here are a couple of links:

Thanks a lot for the links, I'll see if they have something useful to me...
Best regards...
