Rails - Nov 2005 - What ? No grid support...

Hi,

    I am very surprised that rails does not seem to support a grid like view for
table like data. I could not find anything out there that resembled a grid ??

    I am trying to create some tables views that support for sorting and paging.
I
did see the sort helper but it seems pretty flat and does not seems to handle
relationship all that great. For example how would on go about sorting on a 1-1
relationship ?

Say I have Table A and Table B where A defines b_id as a foreign key. I would
want my sort column to sort according the B.name for instance.

Anyone ran into this before ?

Thanks

Are you talking about layout?  As in, the HTML to draw a grid?  I don''t
think that''s the point of Rails -- it doesn''t provide much
help in the
layout arena -- just in getting the data to you.

SortHelper allows this.
