Ultra Web Grid

Hi,

 I'm struggling with a project that has been left to me.

 The project makes extensive use of the infragistics grids and I am somewhat baffled as to why infragistics seems to need quite so much HTML. The grid uses around 90kB on it's own. The grid consists of 10 rows max and 10 columns(the solution uses paging). so a 10x10 table. Not ideal I suppose, with associated css etc. I'd expect absolute worst case 40kB.

What would be helpful is any best practices on how to style the grid or sample projects which I could follow so I could apply my knowledge of css to solve the problem described above. I've picked a great tip already on reducing id naming and saved a few kB already, however it's really about styling that I need to understand.

I am already an experienced web developer and I was somewhat dismayed by the markup that infragistics seems to generate. That said I do really like the product and I think it adds to the user experience of the site I am working, however I really need to resolve these issues otherwise I'm gonna have to go back to the basics that I understand and recomend ditching infragistics

 Many thanks,

 Andy
