You can prepare and put in a cell anything you want with:

       aGrid column: aNumber addBlock: aBlock

Block is called with a current row object as argument and it must return a valid WebElement.

This is just what I was looking for!  Is there anything you haven't thought of yet?

For instance let we put an arrow from existing method images in first column:

       aGrid column: 1
         addBlock: [:rowObject | WebImage gif: #arrowCircledRedGif ]

That will do it!

This can also be used for coloring cell content appropriately. But for coloring entire row you have some prepared methods too:

       rowBlueIfTrue: [:rowObject | "some boolean expresion"]
       rowGreenIfTrue:, rowRedIfTrue:, rowYellowIfTrue: rowGrayIfTrue:
       rowBoldIfTrue: "for whole row to be bold"

Thank you...the WebGrid is truly useful.  What did you think of my post last weekend about handling nil values in a sortable column?  I just subclassed WebGrid for now, but it's nice to have the nil values sort without causing a DNU...

Thanks again.  

Rob

P.S.  I have registered for Smalltalk Solutions; I'll take good notes and share what I pick up!
