@JohnnyO: Thanks for the comment, added “return false;” to the click function, to prevent that jumping you were seeing.

Thanks for this useful information, I am having a problem though. If the tree gets larger than the height of the browser window and you scroll down. When you click on one of the expanders the screen snaps to the top of the page. Any Idea what might be causing this??

Thanks, -JO

Comment on Roo, FasterCSV alternative? by Thomas Preymesser

Thomas Preymesser — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:08:14 +0000

Hello,

“FasterCSV is intended as a replacement to Ruby‘s standard CSV library. It was designed to address concerns users of that library had and it has three primary goals:”

“With Roo, you can access the content of OpenOffice-, MS-Excel- (.xls and .xlsx files) and Google Spreadsheets.”

Why do you think roo will ever be an alternative for FasterCSV? Roo does a completely different thing than FasterCVS. Roo deals with spreadsheet files and is not a CSV library.
It was never intended to replace FasterCSV.

Hey this is a pretty cool hack. I will bookmark it and try to make use of it in one of my projects.

And how did you get the little “(will not be published or shared)” next to the E-mail text field? I wanted to do something similar on my site.

you can also use selenium to test a rails application as described here: http://www.slideshare.net/alexchaffee/fullstack-webapp-testing-with-selenium-and-rails

Selenium is amazingly powerful and really fun.
