Hi,

I would like to know if there is a plug-in to create and manipulate  
Ajax Tables. I have tried active scaffold, but the project has halted  
and the plug-in is not stable. I’ve also tried Hobo, but this plug-in  
requires complete site redesign.

My idea was to use these kind of tables in the front-end of Web  
applications and not only in the Admin interfaces.

Regards,  
Tiago F.

Funny you mention this, I was looking for the same thing.

There must be a plugin somewhere that provides a generator for good  
ajaxy tables.

Anyone know of this?

I would simply use jQuery. It makes at least sortable tables  
trivial. Look in “Javascript - The Missing Manual” by David Sawyer  
McFarland. The more I learn about jQuery more I like it.
