Glenn, you might want to check out:

I haven't tried it myself but it is cross browser, in-page editable, GPL
licensed (with supported commercial edition available), and looks
reeeally sweet.  It can be populated on the fly from a separate
server-side JS, plaintext or XML file!  The reference pages and tutorial
appear very detailed and thorough, and the support forum is pretty
active.

If you do end up trying it out, please post back here and let me know
how you liked it!
