A test AJAX grid has been built using a test MySQL database in order to make sure all functionality is working on the client side of the browser. The new paginating grid allows moving through pages of the data as well as updating any of this information to happen on the fly with no refreshing of the page. This will increase overall speed of accessing this data as well as ease of use viewing and finding relevent information.

Next is to change the code to use the API rather than direct database access which should be fairly straight forward but will require some tweaks to both the JScript code as well as the XSL style sheet (which is somewhat confusing and complex to do). Also, once that conversion is done, we will have to implement it within drupal and make sure all the displaying and CSS associated with the grid do not conflict or cause errors in the drupal GUI.
