I am a GWT newbie. Can someone explain what difference between a DataGrid and a CellTable?

Thanks

Datagrid, the column headers and footers are independent of the data. Meaning you can scroll the data and the headers stay in place.

CellTable this is not the case.

DataGrid also allows borders the selected cell.

In my experience, CellTable sizes its columns to the data, however, is not scrollable.  While DataGrid is scrollable, however, it's columns size only on what you ask them to, not on the data contents.

...I live in hope that a CellTable will someday be scrollable (and not just be put in a scroll panel - have it so the header is always visible).
