Would it be possible to implement some sort of "quick view" feature within the CGridView? For example suppose you could click on a quick view icon in each row, which would slide down a new section and make an AJAX call to display more details of the item. It would probably need to be a TR->TD tag with a colspan attribute.
Yeah, I thought about that too. However it would be much nicer to have a nice slideDown effect to display the data in the CGridView instead. Would really prefer this over the Dialog box!
