If anyone else works with Rails and can point me in the right direction, I've found myself somewhere I've never been using this framework.
I currently have the controller populating my @restaurants object and looping through it in the view to get my listing. I have four buttons at the top of the screen for choosing one of three different cuisines or all. However, for each press of a button, it goes back to the server and does another "find(:all; etc..." lookup and re-populates @restaurants and re-render's the partial. It does this all via AJAX and works great, however, I'm thinking I want to be able to sort the list in the browser without having to go back up to the server each time a button is pressed. Since the list is based on distance (well, will be based on distance soon), there will only be 20 items max returned for any zip code entered. I want to be able to say, "Of this list, only show me Indian, Thai, or Japanese or all again" and keep it all local. If I choose an individual restaurant and slide it in from the right, populating the details via AJAX, then when I go back to Restaurants, I want to see the exact same sorted view I had. Doing it this way, the only time the browser has to contact the server is for each individual item clicked. So how do I take my @restaurants object and populate a Javascript object that I could then parse through locally? I have no experience with in browser parsing/sorting, so I'm sittin' on my thumbs with this one.
