The simplest way is to use 

{field:your_grid_fieldname}

to automatically output the grid content. Make sure you are also including the channel form css:

<link href="{path=css/_ee_channel_form_css}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">

  • Had the idea to only show some fields ( Guess i can start hiding Stuff in CSS ), But your solution works thanks (thumbs up).

  • I believe you can also do it like you were originally trying to, but the input name has to be correct for each cell. Take a look at the html source when using the {field:your_name} tag and you can see the format that ee is expecting for a grid cell. It'll be something like name="testgrid[rows][row_id_2][col_id_8]".

  • I also wish there were more options for customizing the output. In my case, the autogenerated table is mysteriously wide and I can't seem to control it, and the row handles don't work… :-/
