I apologize for being so behind on my reply to this, but I wrote an article
earlier this year on just this:

Hopefully you find it useful.

Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] AJAX data grid for Rails?
Has anyone used an AJAX data grid with Rails?
I am rebuilding a copy of the venture source web site as a first ruby/
rails exercise. If anyone has used a javascript data grid with Rails, I
would appreciate sample code, or notes on your experience. The
controller action would presumably communicate with the data grid
component running on the browser by extracting data from a relational
DBMS into a model, and then serializing that into XML or JSON which the
Javascript component could import. However, if there was a way of
bypassing the generation of an intermediate XML | JSON representation, by
injecting data into a rails-compatible server-side component that sent
the entire grid component (preloaded with data from the rails model) as
javascript to the client, that might be simpler.
