I'm not looking for full RIA as well, cos ur right Rails is the best tool for back end and I really love the agile way. I'm just wan't to make the client side run faster by partial refresh everything, why do we need to refresh whole page if what we wan't to do is just refresh one single line of data ? My point is I just want to make Net app run faster for country who doesn't have a good net connection (for example dial up 64kbps) who will suffer for waiting the whole page refreshing when they only want to update 1 line data.
Actually i have done a full ajax app in rails but i think i violent the rest way, for 7 rest route that rails provide I'm only using create and update using form_remote_for and destroy using link_to_remote. For new, edit, and show i'm using link_to_function (not link_to_remote) so the client doesn't bother server at all, so actually I doesn't have new, edit, and show method in controller, aren't that breaking the REST way ? And now i have some project that is a crazier ajax way :) I just have one page (called it dashboard) that have 2 region left and right. On the left I want to put it all the navigation and link to the data and the right region is the view of data itself. So the point is everytime i i choose the navigation on the left dashboard it will replace the right dashboard with the data so I the view doesn't refesh full page but only partial right region so It will run as fast as possible. After several trying i realized the javascript code is really complicated, so I just wan't to know are there any easier way to do my problem ?
