[Laszlo-dev] Ajax API and XML format

[Antun Karlovac]

Hi Zaheed

The example on the grid page is very simple and shows off grid's ability 
to "figure out" the data it is to bind to. For a more concise example 
that shows you how to databind to various attributes, take a look at the 
gridtext page:

http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps-latest/docs/reference/lz-gridtext.html

You can use relative datapaths to point to the subnodes you want there.
