Image / photo gallery (grid) with rails?

Question

I would like to create a photo gallery with a grid view (facebook style), and I would like to know if this is possible using rails or if I should use jquery for this.

I am using paperclip and I am stuck trying to display pics as a grid.

I would be very pleased if anyone has a link to a tutorial or a starting point for this. (I already have an index view showing all the photos)

index.html.erb

<% title "All Photos" %>

<table>
  <% for photo in @photos %>
    <tr>
    <td><%= link_to image_tag(photo.image.url), photo %></td>
      <td><%= link_to photo.name, photo %></td>
    </tr>
  <% end %>
</table>

Thank!

It doesn't depend on Rails, because what you're dealing with is just a matter of your HTML markup.

, , - , , . (<tr>) , . - divs , . , , divs:

<div id="gallery">
  <% for photo in @photos %>
    <div class="photo">
      <%= link_to image_tag(photo.image.url), photo %>
      <%= link_to photo.name, photo %>
    </div>
  <% end %>
</div>
