Looking for a Grid

Being a novice at jQuery functionality and features, but if I was to have a table with 200+ rows with changes in them, wouldn't that add additional overhead to the web page to create custom JS functions that would reference only the cells that would require a change be done to it? Maybe I'm not wrapping my head around this correctly. But with JS and jQuery being client-side languages, when it makes a call to the server-side page, from the examples, it looks like it's only retrieving the data that the query would produce. But if I was to attempt to modify certain cells within the table, wouldn't I have to add JS code to modify every independent cell that needs a change?
