What No grid support

Rails
1

Hi,

I am very surprised that rails does not seem to support a grid like

view for
table like data. I could not find anything out there that resembled a
grid ??

I am trying to create some tables views that support for sorting and

paging. I
did see the sort helper but it seems pretty flat and does not seems to
handle
relationship all that great. For example how would on go about sorting
on a 1-1
relationship ?

Say I have Table A and Table B where A defines b_id as a foreign key. I
would
want my sort column to sort according the B.name for instance.

Anyone ran into this before ?

Thanks

Are you talking about layout? As in, the HTML to draw a grid? I don’t
think that’s the point of Rails – it doesn’t provide much help in the
layout arena – just in getting the data to you.

SortHelper allows this.
