DynaTable: Client side Data handling API

While working on web based CAD project, we (me & adil) came up with an API to handle large forms and multiple data instances against a specific entity on client side through javascript. The user can add as many html tables to his form as he may need with their separate Add buttons to add rows while having only one Save button, which will store the respective client side data to server side DataSource.

Get it @ Google Code

Features:
Fast Processing,
Low ViewState
Rows can be Added/Deleted (& Updated in next release) on client-side
Dynamic & Eeasy Handling Interface for programmers
Easy Deployment

I have put this approach for an open discussion to evolve & Your suggestions will be welcomed warmly.

Simple Approch: Add/Delete Rows with Dynamic Columns

var numLinesAdded2 = 0;

function AddRow(TableId,cells)
{
var tbl = document.getElementById(TableId);
var x = tbl.insertRow(tbl.rows.length);
var tdCells = cells.split(';');
var cell;
cell = x.insertCell(0);
cell.innerHTML = " img style='CURSOR: hand' src='images/delete.gif' alt='Delete' onclick='javascript:DeleteRow("+TableId+", this)'>";

for(i=0; i < tdCells.length; i++)
{
cell = x.insertCell(1);
cell.innerHTML = tdCells[i];
}
}

function DeleteRow(TableId,row)
{
var i=row.parentNode.parentNode.rowIndex
TableId.deleteRow(i)
}
