Doing More with Grids
This tutorial goes beyond the basic views tutorial and shows you how to do more with grids

How much can I do with a simple grid view

Benefits of SlickGrid

What does Recline give you out of the box, what does SlickGrid have built in and how to use it (reference to stuff below).

Preparing your page

See the instructions in the basic views tutorial.

Creating a Dataset

Just like in the main tutorial, here's some example data We are going to work with:

{% highlight javascript %} {% include data.js %} var dataset = new recline.Model.Dataset({ records: data }); {% endhighlight %}

Accessing SlickGrid features

Show how we can customize SlickGrid grid "normally" - i.e. you can get access to underlying grid and tweak it as you want.

Suggest we demonstrate using this example: https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/blob/gh-pages/examples/example-plugin-headermenu.html

Idea here is: we don't want to mimic all that slickgrid can do through recline interface - just let people do it directly themselves ...
