Flexigrid
by loneseb & 7 othersLightweight but rich data grid with resizable columns and a scrolling data to match the headers, plus an ability to connect to an xml based data source using Ajax to load the content.
Similar in concept with the Ext Grid only its pure jQuery love, which makes it light weight and follows the jQuery mantra of running with the least amount of configuration.
Features
* Resizable columns
* Resizable height and width
* Sortable column headers
* Cool theme
* Can convert an ordinary table
* Ability to connect to an ajax data source (XML and JSON[new])
* Paging
* Show/hide columns
* Toolbar (new)
* Search (new)
* Accessible API
* Many more
I'm planning to add an Editable and Resortable rows feature, as well as other cool GUI features.
One of my main goal for the plugin is ultimately to keep it lightweight, maybe under 20k when compressed. Because otherwise you should probably stick with Ext Grid or YUI data table.

24 ways: Edit-in-Place with Ajax
by nhoizey & 10 othersAnyone who’s used Flickr to publish their photos will be familiar with the edit-in-place system used for quickly amending titles and descriptions on photographs. Hovering over an item turns its background yellow to indicate it is editable. A simple click loads the text into an edit box, right there on the page.
