How to paginate, sort and search a table with Ajax and Rails
This is a very common task in web application development. The interest to use Ajax for this is to provide a dynamic interface which doesn't need to reload the entire page when the table changes. The interest of using Rails is... well, if you are reading this you should already know, but Ajax is really nicely integrated with Rails, and using it is very easier with this great framework.

A Simpler Ajax Path
While not exactly new, the XMLHttpRequest object is receiving more attention lately as the linchpin in a new approach to web app development, most recently dubbed Ajax (asynchronous JavaScript and XML), which powers the cool features found on sites like Flickr, Amazon's A9.com, and the new poster children for whizzy web-based interactivity, Google Maps and Google Suggest.

RJS Assertions
I've been doing a little bit of refactoring and code improvement on some of my pet Rails projects. One of the things that I'd previously not found a great way of testing was Rails 1.1's RJS templates, Ruby generated JavaScript, a key part of Rails' AJAX support.
