Editable data grid

Rails
1

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.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi,

Can you please let us know if you were able to make an editable grid ?
If yes, then please guide me how it can be done.

Thanks.

One might clone in_place_editor all over the page.

However, SQL has a notorious problem storing simple arrays, and
in_place_editor inherits this. You can’t pass an index in, so you can’t
run
a whole bunch of them all over a page, each with a distinct record :id
to
hit.

I “solved” the problem by dumping the source of in_place_editor into my
project, renaming it by adding _indexed, passing an index in, and gluing
it
onto the end of the model.
