I am an absolute beginner in javascript but have a lot of coding experience in other language. I need to prepare my college project real fast and for it i need a big data grid with various fields and sorting/searching enabled and it fetches its data from an xml file. I am not allowed to use any framework, except that if i can justify its need. So far, all the searching for datagrid tutorial yields me only ready made grids with just a little more effots to include. So i need some guidance in this regard. I am a fast learner, so just need some quick reference material on how to do things like creating a datagrid that respond to searching and sorting events and include data from xml file.
