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

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

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''m setting up a new Rails project that is a nice front end for a company''s personnel database with a legacy schema. Unfortunately, the table that contains all the standard information (first name, last name, email address) has some 20+ columns, one of which is a BLOB of a picture of the person. Loading all this takes a while, when the application really only needs the

Has anyone experienced "hangs" with the WEBrick/OCI8 combination? The sequence of actions I perform to consistently get WEBrick to hang is: 1. start WEBrick 2. list a table form my Oracle 10g DB 3. startup sqlplus and update a few records in the table 4. go back to my browser and reload the table Here none of the chances I made directly to the table are reflected in the listing.

Does anyone know a good way to hook into the AR to_xml() method to allow for adjusting datetimes to a user''s timezone? Basically I want a user to be able dump all their data before cancelling an account.

Hi, I seem to have a problem with crontab. I am running CentOS 5.5. If I add my bakup scripts into crontab they take very long to run. If I run my scripts manually they run 100%.

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
