Er... that's what I meant.

If you swap the 'rows' and 'columns' in my comment:

Sorry about that.  Also, to be more explicit: XWT's box control will sync
several 1000 rows better than anything ECMAscript will.  So let XWT handle
the columns and the grid will just concentrate on keeping the each cell in a
row the same height.
