Hello,
To me it sounds like you may want to look into a javascript library that has a built in grid.
The one I have used most often for working with sets of data on the client side is Dojo. There are a few issues with Dojo, but overall it's not too bad an experience.
Basically, you assign your resultset to a json object, which is really just a hash object, and then you can use it as a regular recordset on the client side, you can query it, change values, display it in a grid with additional options for sorting, filtering, updating the data via ajax, etc.
Please note that this is NOT an advertisement for Dojo's javascript library. My preference is Jquery, Mootools then Yui. If I never code Dojo again I'll be happy
BUT, they have a good grid implementation.

BTW, there is another option...
Go here:
javascript documentation. You will find all of the different ways of accessing objects in javascript here. There are different ways of getting the properties of the object, depending on the type of object, and the types of data in that object. At the end of the day though, an object in javascript consists of name - value pairs that contain any sort of data that javascript supports. That's the key to determining how to access your data.
