Dear all,

I have implemented a modal window for selection of user. How i can  
implement pagination for modal window. I have used the following  
controller method for displaying user in modal window

def user\_search

```
@user_list = UserInfo.find( :all,:page => {:current =>

```

@page\_current,  
:size =\> 10 }, :conditions =\> [‘id != ?’,  
1])

```
render :update do |page|

  page.show "userlist"

  page.replace_html "userlist", :partial =>'user_list', :locals =>

```

{:userlist =\> @user\_list}

```
  page << "showModal('contatiner_sub','userlist')"

end

```

end

\_user\_list.rhtml:

```
  <% userlist.each do |user_list| %>

    <%=radio_button_tag

```

‘user\_name\_1’,"#{user\_list.id}"%\>\<%=user\_list.first\_name%\>

```
    <%= observe_field("user_name_1_#{user_list.id}",
    :on => "changed",
    :url => {:action => :update_user, :id => user_list.id},
    :with => "'user_name='+value")
    %>

  <% end %>

</div>
<div id='pagination'>
     <%= render :partial => '/application/pagination',
          :locals =>
            { :collection => userlist,
              :action => 'user_search',
              :id => nil
              } -%>

</div>

```

Please suggest on above code for implementing pagination in modal  
window. Pagination works fine in all my normal lists but in modal window  
it does,nt work. Please suggest.

Thanks in advance
