   I am not sure if this is actually a bug, that will probably also happen when pasting those two lines to Excel or G. Sheets. Correct me if I'm wrong.

   Hi, that's not possible, sorry. DGXL is mainly meant to be an editable input component, it's not a data table for presentation purposes. Also see Features & Limits page: https://www.datagridxl.com/docs/fea

   Thanks pictur, appreciate your reply! How would I share the developments? I am not really a Twitter user. (You can however subscribe to a mailing list, which you'll find on the bottom of the homepage.)

   Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it! I think you're right that the "Reliable" feature might not tell the user much. Perhaps I need to show GIFs of other products to show the numerous ways these products get messy.

   Ah, that's something I would very much like to implement. Probably only in '21... More pressing stuff first. Until then, have a look at Jexcel, it implements numerous pickers/editors (not all of them mobile-friendly I believe

   I agree. There's always a trade-off somewhere. Css native's scroll-snap was not useful in my case, but in the end DGXL's custom scroll snap was one of the easiest parts of the product to build. It was one of the things I real

   It all depends on what somebody is looking for: a sortable data table for presentation, a table (structure) editor, a spreadsheet, a data grid? All these things look very similar, but they require different approaches really. You'll al

   You're right, the editor does not open on touch screens in this version. It's still possible to enable editing on touch screen, but it asks for a custom <input> element on the page that interacts with the grid, using methods

   I guess I'll just have to see what happens, who buys it and who does not, and tweak along the way :-)

    Thanks, I have seen this suggestion a couple of times now in this thread. Will have to study it, as right now I am a non-expert when it comes to screen readers. Will make an effort to seriously improve this aspect!

    Do you think it's too little or too much? This is my first commercial product. I have looked at other professional grids like Handsontable & Ag-Grid and have decided to choose a similar price, just to have some reference. There wil

    Right now the free version offers the same features as the commercial version. As long as you're OK with displaying the branding link and DIY-support, you can use the product for free, as long as you like.

    Thanks! What features would you like to see implemented?
14. 254.▲
    by robbiejs 6y ago

    That you for this valuable advice! I have to admit that I have never worked on accessibility before (apart from writing meaningful HTML). Will definitely look at improving screen reader support when I get to it.

    What I appreciate about Jexcel is their numerous input methods (like dropdowns and checkboxes). DGXL does not offer these features at this moment. Both Jexcel and Handsontable are quite excellent when it comes to the amount of features, but

    That's the biggest trade-off I had to make. DXGL does not implement HTML markup in cells: see Features & Limits ( https://www.datagridxl.com/docs/features-limits ). That's why I try to make it clear that DG

    Hi, DGXL does not support formulas at this time and I am not sure if I will implement the feature. I'll let it depend on popular demand. There are a few products out there that implement formulas. A site like www.jspreadsheets.com ment

    If that's too much for you at this time, you can always use the free version. As long as you display the branding link. Right now the free version has the same features are the commercial version.

    Really? What browser + OS are you on?

    by robbiejs 6y ago

    Hi, you're right. At this time it's not supported, but we're working on it. Probably next week. The other features are still a definite "no" for now :-)

    by robbiejs 6y ago

    Hi! Will be supported soon, possibly this week. If not, next week for sure. It's in the testing stages!

    Hi, it does not use canvas. It uses HTML. Sure, DGXL contains one or two canvas elements, but they're used for measuring strings length and drawing cell background colors. The actual values are all in HTML. The benefit is that you can

    Hi, you can use DGXL for free, as long as you keep the branding link visible and have no need for support.

    Great question. I think Jexcel is a great effort. There's also Handsontable. I think Jexcel and Handsontable are pretty similar: they have a lot of features, but also a lot of the same errors: performance suffers and sometimes the DOM

    For a moment I thought you were talking about DataGridXL, but your comment is on the canvas grid? I actually made quite an effort to make DGXL work on touch screens. It's not there yet. It's basically read-only on touch for now, b

    by robbiejs 6y ago

    I wish you best of luck. I understand your decision to go with canvas. I have experimented with canvas quite a bit as well, as I could not get HTML DOM performance quite right initially. How I solved this for DataGridXL: Only columns are DO

    Maybe one day, but no promises. I did experiment with formulas in an earlier version, and it was promising, but there's a lot of things that need to be exactly right. Also, I need to draw a line somewhere. I cannot turn the product int

    Hi, The component actually did have fixed/frozen columns/rows in an earlier version, but I decided to leave out the feature for a v1. I plan to reintroduce it after more popular features have been implemented. DGXL is able to hand

    Thanks for your suggestions. Sorting will be implemented very soon, perhaps this week. I haven't really thought of filtering yet, but it's very likely that one day we'll introduce a filter-option. However, at this moment I
