AJAX enabled table?

Hi,

I'm wondering how you build an ajax enabled table? By enabled, I mean users can click on table headings and sort ascending or descending by that header, etc. I've seen some info on rubyonrails.org for another type of scaffold. I'm a little lost in breaking it down. Any thoughts?

The short answer is, you don't.. There's a piece at MSDN that explains more but, basically, tables don't use the DOM that Ajax relies on. They use a MS-specific object model. You can get the look of a table using <div>s and CSS that will let you do Ajax.
