Hi,

I want to use the TkTable in Rails application.  
For the tables in HTML editing and add the flash mode  
are not possible. I want to use these functionalities  
in my rails application.  
How do I achieve it.  
If any one knows, please let me know the solution.  
Thanks in advance

Regards,  
Ravi

I think you would be better off making a client for your application  
using Tk. Download data (preferably in XML format, easier to parse),  
import into your GUI application for manipulation, then re-submit to  
your Rails application via another action.

If at all possible, I would use an HTML interface though. However, once  
you have an XML interface, all manner of clients will be able to use it  
as well as an HTML interface.

Well…  
If you _REALLY_ want to serve your Ruby/Tk  
application to anyone over the Net, Ruby/TkORCA  
([http://qwik.jp/ruby-tk/RubyTkORCA.html](http://qwik.jp/ruby-tk/RubyTkORCA.html)) may help you.
