Environment: 
=======
Designed for Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3.2
Initial testing done for Ruby 1.8.x

Formatting Notes:
================
Activejquery uses a default view to style the grid, 
this is in views/activejquery/show.erb
If you have added addition default styles/views, you may see the
page number box to be squashed. 


Routes
=======
You must add a active resource route in config/routes.rb

map.resources :airstate

Namespaced Controller route example

  map.namespace :adminspace do |adminspace|
      adminspace.resources :user
      end

Example
=======

Example Controller:
Class AirstateController < ApplicationController
#before_filter :login_required

      active_jquery :Syslog
             
end

Where Syslog is the name of the model.

Installation:
ruby script/plugin --verbose install git://github.com/glennswest/activejquery.git

Note: This (git based plugins) is broken in ruby 1.9.1 unless you do a patch.
