Not possible. Period. One ib-grid instance can have only one dataset
hanging off it at any one moment.

However, it *is* possible to use the same grid instance to display two
separate datasets - just not at the same time.

Reply to this, indicating whether switching between one detail dataset and
the other would fit into your vision. This can certainly be done and is a
perfectly valid design model.

If the user needs to see both detail datasets simultaneously, then your
two-grid design is the only one. You can organise the positions and
scrolling of the grids so that everything is synchronised.

The description was fine. If only more people were so careful with their
problem descriptions/design intentions.
