That´s great, the first jQuery based Gantt that does dependencies. Exactly what I´m looking for :)

In terms of style, this one is nice as well: http://taitems.github.com/jQuery.Gantt/

If it wouldn´t be for using Ext.js and the large code size, this one is the most polished in terms of look and function: http://bryntum.com/products/gantt/

If you need any help with styling it a bit differnt, give me a shout :)

This editor is as far I know the most complete one built in jQuery. Regarding Ext.js the Bryntum's one is far the best I found. Here I compiled a list of available ones: http://roberto.open-lab.com/2012/06/14/the-javascript-gantt-...

Great overview!

One thing that would be great to add to the overview (if you´ve still got the demo files) is how large the download is - it´s one of the things that spoke against Bryntum's solution (over 2 MB!).

Ext Gantt is actually only 287kb, and <100 gzipped. It does depend on Ext JS but only a few UI classes (TreePanel, Form, TextField etc), so using a custom built Ext JS should bring this down to a very reasonable size (nowhere near 2MB for sure). :)

I was basing that at the Example code on your site http://bryntum.com/examples/gantt-latest/examples/basic/basi... which a bit short of 2MB (at least when loaded by Safari and Chrome, it seems to load differently in Firefox)...

It would be great if you guys could show off your skills in a optimized demo site...

Here's what my Firebug Net tab tells me:

GET ext-all.js 304 OK cdn.sencha.io 442.4 KB 253ms

GET gnt-all-debug.js 304 Not Modified bryntum.com 282.4 KB 251ms

With a clean Chrome, purged cache: I get "38 requests ❘ 829.55KB transferred ❘ 1.52s (onload: 1.07s, DOMContentLoaded: 1.07s)"

And this is still without making any effort to custom build Ext JS. We're using ext-all.js for simplicity, and to make use of Sencha's CDN which should speed up world wide access compared to us hosting a custom file.

Hope this settles it :)

Wow! I din't notice.

Big things are on the horizon for the jQuery.Gantt plugin. A reliable contributor is working on adding drag and resize to the solution while I work on some fiddly little bugs. I also believe someone had a proof of concept for adding dependencies to items too.

Great to hear you guys are working on drag&drop... Have a look at this lightweight jQuery based Gantt with drag&drop for some inspiration: https://github.com/thegrubbsian/jquery.ganttView

It implements it really nicely...
