   * ''string'' - The basic type. The value is display just like it appears in the database.
   * ''number'' - Specifies a numerical value. In the present implementation, it acts like a string, but Ajax List could be extended in the future to search for greater or lesser numbers instead of just equivalents . So it's a good idea to specify numerical columns are "number" and not as "string".
-  * ''map'' 
+  * ''map'' - this is a dictionary look-up type. It takes the column entry to be a key, and look it up in an associative array. This array is passes as a Column Type Parameter, following the column type. For example, the following is used in the users controller to translate entries like "A", "S", and "I" to "Admin", "Student", and "Instructor", respectively.

+        array(  "A" => "Admin",  "I" => "Instructor", "S" => "Student")),}}}
