Feature request (for handsontable): cell coloring for RAG status

[smartinsightsfromdata]

The handsontable implementation is good, as it works with shiny & partials.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26357187/shinytable-does-not-work-with-partials/26495429#26495429

It would be great to add the cell coloring (e.g. like shinyTable) to this, to enable for example to represent RAG status (red / amber / green etc.).
Then it would be perfect for me :)

I think you might be better off trying to convince shinytable to implement partials. I am thinking about deprecating the handonstable componennt in shinysky and use shinyTable. I will have a crack at implementing the feature though.

@xiaodaigh Jeff implementation is certainly more complex, but this can be a problem in many ways.
I confess I tried to cut and paste the js logic in shinyTable that does the cell validation and add it to your package, but it didn't work (but I'm no js programmer). How do you debug these type of packages??

Many thanks again for shinysky and all your efforts.
