grid performance help!!!

hi ,
i am rendering the grid in xsl . i am finding that if the data is enormous say the 5000 cells or more or if the row header has more than 40 headers the grid is rendered incomplete . is it due to the data load in the grid or is there any problem in grid composition or grid rendering .

I would say 1000 cells is ok, 10000 is a bit too much. It all depends how complex the rest of your page is (nested tables can kill the rendering performance) and if you are putting just plain text or complex HTML into the cells. There is no limits in code on how many rows or columns the grid could have. It depends only on JavaScript and parsing/rendering performance.

In you case its probably best to implement some sort of paging, like in /patches/paging1.htm example.
