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

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. Opinions and suggestions welcomed! Pete Unspace Interactive Inc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

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 to do the workshop, but most people don''t arrive

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

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

Is there a standard way of programmatically firing an event on an element? I think this code works in IE but not FF: myElement.fireEvent(''onclick''); I really only care about IE and FF, but anything else is a bonus. I didn''t see anything in prototype/scriptaculous for this, but I might have missed it. Thanks. Joe Athman

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

When trying to install Microsoft Foundation Classes I find that winetools gets stuck on the mfc40.dll download. I can download mfc40.dll via my broswer, however. Where to stick this file, so that winetools can find it, and not need to download from dlldump.com? I'm on Ubuntu with the KDE desktop installed, if that matters. Thanks.

Hello all, In order to learn Ruby on Rails (I''ve done the tutorials) I''ve decided to sit down and try to create a broswer based game. I''m a bit lost on where to start. Does anyone have an suggestions? Would anyone be willing to help? I.e. I get stuck with any small bit of code you can give me a heads up, or tell me where I''m going wrong? Thanks guys.

After upgrading to R 2.1.1, the usual paste-and-go from Winedit seems to not work anymore. I try installing the last 'RWinEdt_1.7-3' edition, but with no more result. After selecting the program lines to submit, I click on the 'paste' icon and nothing happens in the R gui (a subliminal, flashing move in the edition menu...). Idem for 'source' and 'R-history'.

hi everyone, since about 10 days I've been working on an implementation of ogg vorbis *decoder* from scratch, and I've got a few constructive remarks about the specs and some questions. -------------------------- First a question: > 9.2.4. low_neighbor > > "low_neighbor(v,x)" finds the position n in vector [v] of the greatest > value scalar element for which

Hey all, Does anyone know of an existing project that acts as a file broswer for files/directories on the server. I need to implement something for my students to be able to access their unix home drives on our server via the web. It doesn''t sound that hard to do the actual file listing and accessing in ruby. Authenticating the users could be tricky (PAM?). It could be done, but

Hi Opus list, Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I find that Opus encoder created in mode OPUS_APPLICATION_AUDIO (as opposed to _VOIP) is using a lot of bits to encode silent periods of speech. This is relevant to a voip application for which good quality music is desirable, and in which I add a minimal comfort noise (order of few bits loud, e.g. MLS signal of amplitude 1 or 2)
