I like jquery-ui. It has some nice themes buildt in, and many plugins available. But most important: it''s very leightweight! http://jqueryui.com/ Since jquery is the "native" javascript plugin in rails, jquery-ui should also be the best choice. There is even a nice plugins for rails>= 3.1, which configures all you need for the asset-pipeline:https://rubygems.org/gems/jquery-ui-rails If you need some "special" plugins, eg for a MVVM approach, just look for nice plugins, ideally with themeroller-support. Example: http://datatables.net/ , and many more. If you want to have a bad time, consider using heavyweight and slow JS-Frameworks like ExtJS (Sencha). Implementing the UI then would take way longer then the whole application without styling, only for the benefit of having some complex widgets. Exspecially ExtJS development feels exactly like raw Java/Swing.

Forgot to say: Look at the licences of the js frameworks. Kendo and ExtJS for example require a general OpenSource-App (yes, _including_ serverside-code!) or have a solid price... something about 400$ upwards per developer. jquery-ui is free. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
