recordselect

Rails plugin to replace <select> boxes with a paginated, searchable list.

RecordSelect is a Rails widget to help you pick one record out of many. I designed it as a more usable and performant alternative to generating a massive dropdown list. It relies on AJAX for the cooler uses (all the provided view helpers rely on JavaScript) but can also function in a pure-http fashion (although multi-select support is provided in a pure-JavaScript implementation).

Go ahead and check out the demo app to really see how it works! Or go straight to installing the plugin into your own app.

DEPENDENCIES

This depends on the excellent Paginator gem by Bruce Williams. This simple gem is available at http://paginator.rubyforge.org.
