I just finished posting an article on creating a lightweight but very functional web grid that does a slick job of live updating whatever content you put in. Much like Rails itself, I pulled the code from an active project effort, in the hopes that others would find it useful. http://unspace.ca/discover/datagrid Or, for the impatient, give the demo a shot: http://unspace.ca/datagrid Feedback welcome and appreciated!

...oronto, ON) Spread the word! The inaugural Toronto Rails pub nite will be an opportunity to meet the folks working on Rails in your community. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss projects you''re involved with, recruit talent, and even find out what all of the fuss is about! Unspace wants to support the growing Rails community here, but we felt that a user group was too formal, stuffy, and intimidating to those that are new to Ruby and Rails. Instead, the best opportunity for advocacy is something where people can make friends and have fun in an informal setting. We also...

I just finished my latest contribution, "Open Says Me". http://unspace.ca/discover/opensaysme/ Managing the browser experience using JavaScript, Ajax and a Cookie. It''s built on top of Rails, of course. Feedback is always appreciated! Pete

I just published a new article on how and why (and when!) to do away with paginated search results, in favour of a more natural, endlessly scrolling page. http://unspace.ca/discover/pageless/ I provide code and an example of how to implement this in Rails and Prototype.

...how we can empower ourselves to return to our local peer communities and advocate Rails as the web development technology people simply -should- be using. Right now we''re enjoying a groundswell of positive attention, but we''re largely preaching to the converted. Our company, Unspace Interactive, has had a tremendous response to its announcement of Toronto Rails Pub Nite, an opportunity for web development geeks of all stripes to socialize in an informal setting. It is our belief that this sort of bridge-building is the vital first step for bringing Rails to a much larger...

Hey everyone, I came back from Canada on Rails and was so inspired that I wrote an article on the plane. http://unspace.ca/discover/expectations/ It''s my attempt to distill what I have learned so far, working on AJAX applications in Rails that people will hopefully want to use. Feedback is appreciated! Pete

I''m currently planning a social app in Rails that relies on being able to see how far you are from everyone else. It''s my intention to store rough geo-coordinates as part of the sign up process. My intention is to capture their zipcode or postal code, and then be able to query a webservice once for that data. It''s also possible that there might be a database or even

Ryan McMinn as well as myself from Unspace Interactive are going to ETech next week. We know fellow Torontonian David Crow will be there with bells on. And clearly DHH is coming to do his workshop. Who else is coming, and is there any interest in trying to do a Rails BOF during the main conference? Obviously a lot of folks are going t...

I''m trying to create a list of doctors with names and surnames. I want to be able to add many doctors using AJAX and then save all of them at the same time. All the doctors are associated to a patient. I want to do something like the datagrid in http://unspace.ca/datagrid/update but I would like to use RJS because this fellow used javascript before RJS came out. And also, they are using a table to store the doctors in a "session" and then flush them into the actual database. I want to be able to do it without temporal tables. Does anyone...

I am attempting to use Ajax.Updater to update the innerHTML of a SELECT - that is, to feed it a list of <option>..</option> sets generated from a partial. It works as expected on FF1.5, but in IE6 it renders as an empty select. When I use the DOM viewer (or an alert()) to dump the value of innerHTML, it appears intact EXCEPT that the first <option> is missing with no

Is there any way to control the spacing between bars in a histogram, or change the border width (I'm assuming the hist() function, though alternatives are welcome)? I'm interested in changing the visual spacing between columns in a plotted histogram. The general effect I'm looking for can be accomplished in barplots using the "width=" parameter, but I have not been able

I''ve recently submitted two patches (#5122 and #5266) to the Rails trac. These patches are actually for Prototype. There appears to be very little discussion about Prototype on this list, but I wanted to share what I''ve been doing in the hopes of soliciting some feedback from you folks. If this isn''t the right place to discuss Prototype, mea culpa - where should I

Does anyone have a good recommendation for implementing an editable data grid (like a spreadsheet) based on a dbase table/model? What I would like is something similar to Google Spreadsheets.

Has anyone used an AJAX data grid with Rails? I am rebuilding a copy of the venture source web site as a first ruby/ rails exercise. If anyone has used a javascript data grid with Rails, I would appreciate sample code, or notes on your experience. The controller action would presumably communicate with the data grid component running on the browser by extracting data from a relational

Hello Rubyists, I''m in the position of being given the job to design and build a mission-critical web facing application for a small but growing enterprise. It is to be used by customers as needed, numbering in the tens up to the hundreds. It will collect operational data, particularly in a table around 50 columns wide, and potentially millions of rows deep, most fields being numerical.

So someone finally named server-push through HTTP-keepalive "Comet" It''s also been implemented in a very nice Java/Javascript library called DWR. http://ajaxian.com/archives/dwr-20-reverse-ajax Has there been any discussion by "the core" about adding this to Rails 1.2? :) -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

I''m trying to update a table row (i.e. replace a <tr></tr>) using AJAX/RJS but of course this cannot be done in IE (works fine in Firefox). I have googled but have not found any solutions, only a lot of discussion. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Cheers, Nicholas

Several folks on the list have, over time, expressed interest in being able to access the subdomain info inside routes.rb. This was discussed in great detail late last year by several folks: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2006-January/008114.html In summary, routes can''t access the domain, so your best bet is to stick a before_filter in your application.rb.
