Just wanted to let anyone know that might have checked out the generator  
before and couldn’t use it b/c you’re project required graceful  
degredation.  
Well its in there now. Thanks everyone and enjoy.

I just tried the ajax\_scaffold\_generator for the first time. It  
worked great with full records.

I want to use it to generate detail records in a master-detail setup.

Is there a howto online anywhere that would explain how to do that?

Graceful degradation. Sounds like something Rodney Dangerfield would  
have been into.

Can you explain for the newbies what graceful degradation is and why  
somebody might care?

thanks,

It does exactly what it says: it degrades gracefully… if javascript  
isn’t enabled or unavailable on the user’s computer. This usually  
means there’s a non-ajax (i.e. with page refreshes) fallback available.

HTH!
