We''re using script.aculo.us and prototypejs in a RoR application. The users have given us some feedback that seems reasonable, but we don''t know how to satisfy their request. Our app has a number of fields that use the first few letters to produce a list. The field consists of four letters followed by three digits. Unfortunately, the dataset is very large. Often, three or four letters is far from unique. Our Ajax generated selection list shows a max of 20 items, which makes it rather large on screen. The users would like to be able to scroll down or page down to see the next set and so on. Can anyone suggest a simple way to make the displayed list page down through a long query result? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Hey, what you want to have is a livegrid as done by the rico guys. But as you say you are depending on prototype ... think I read an article on Ajaxian.com .. http://ajaxian.com/archives/prototype-based-livegrid hope that helps br Bastian On 9/23/07, JC <jaime-vLxCNfdTm5vk1uMJSBkQmQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > We''re using script.aculo.us and prototypejs in a RoR application.

Anyone have experience with dojo tool kit? I wonder if it would address this issue. There is a tool called turbogrid (http://www.turboajax.com/products/turbogrid/) that is built on dojo. It sounds like "the stuff" for this problem. Sort of a modernized version of the livegrid tool. Any input on what hurtles we''ll run into trying to move our app to dojo?
