Fuel UX data grid without Pagination - datagrid

I am trying to use Fuel UX Datagrid in a Rails 3.2 app. My use case requires a grid with fixed header (which Fuel UX Datagrid already supports) and vertical and horizontal scrolling without pagination. I found examples with vertical scrolling plus pagination but no examples with horizontal scrolling with pagination turned off. Does Fuel UX support this? Can someone post any examples?
Thanks.

There is no existing option for this but it should be possible to disable pagination by configuring your datasource to return all records and using CSS to hide the pagination controls. The horizontal scrolling is likely more difficult, but in general the JavaScript tries to be general enough to allow you customize your markup and CSS. Feel free to experiment and report any customization issues to https://github.com/ExactTarget/fuelux/issues

Managing asp.net form with many fields

I am using asp.net/C# ,, i have a form with many fields ,,, it is a registeration form of a bank ... currently i usd css to move and align fields on the form ...i didnot use the drag n drop feature .... My question is what would be the best way to manage such forms .. currently my form doesnot look organized... Should i use absolute positioning and align all my fields by dragging them .... Please suggest me the proper way of aligning and organizing such fields.
Thanks
Simple semantic html - validated of course
with css for styling is the recommended way.
Regarding absolute positioning or not - that depends.
There are lots of example CSS Form sites, with examples and source code. I suggest you look there.
If you have a huge amount of fields you can break the page up into smaller pages (save each segment, allow back and next). If you are feeling brave you can use the Web Forms Wizard control - but I wouldn't personally as Web Forms has a way of turning on you.

flex mobile using badges in elements

Is there a way to display so called badges in Flex elements?
With badges I mean the little red circles with a number in it which are used to display the amount of new items in a inbox by example.
I want to display badges in a flex list or tabbed item.
Is this core functionality of Flex?
You can definitely do this in Flex, but it will likely (without seeing your designs, etc) require implementing a custom item renderer for the list. For an example of doing this for a Flex-based web or AIR app, look here. Also, you will likely want to read up on Flex 4 skinning for writing a custom skin for your list item renderers, as well as perhaps the list itself. Additionally, if you are, as implied by your tags, writing a flex mobile app, you'll want to read up on building mobile item renderers as they differ in subtle, but important ways from standard web-based Flex or desktop AIR apps. The short answer, then, is yes, but you will likely need to write some custom code to get things exactly the way you want them, styling-wise and behaviorally.
How did you do? I use the next snippet for a badge in a tabbed item. http://blog.aboutme.be/2011/10/28/flex-mobile-tabbed-view-navigator-button-badge/
I hope it helps you.

Alternative to fancybox?

The site I am working on was using a fancybox to display checkboxes and such so that an admin can easily add more items to a specific product. After messing with it for way too long, I have to scrap that fancybox, but now that the page is broken, I'm not sure what to do. The checkboxes that were displayed are in such a large quantity that using collapsible divs would just make the page a huge mess.
Is there a different modal pop-up that might work better than fancybox? I read that modals just don't work with ASP and that is what I am using for this site. ASP.net 4.0 using VB. If anyone has ideas or suggestions I would love to hear them. I'm struggling with where to take this project now.
There are hundreds of jQuery plugins with modal windows and close functionality. For example check this . I personally use colorbox

Is Panels necessary in Drupal 7?

A bit of explanation - I'm a Drupal 6 developer who has never used Panels, but was looking at it for a new site that I was going to initially build in D6, but am now going to build in D7 since the modules I need all seem to be available.
This will be my first D7 site.
For this site I was going to use Panels in D6 for the following reasons:
The majority of the pages in the site will have a sidebar, but the composition of that sidebar will vary, and the 'content area' may be subdivided in up to 3 divisions, either in 1+1+1 or 2+1, including back and forth from one to the other in the same page (ie 2+1 on top of 1+1+1).
The homepage will be completely different and have its own layout.
Some pages, such as the forum, will be "full-width" and will have no sidebar whatsoever.
It seemed like Panels could accomplish all of these (if not, that would be good to know :-).
In Drupal 7, is Panels still a good bet for this, or is there a better way? It seems beyond what my understanding of simple blocks and regions can do, but I may be wrong...
It's all possible with regular blocks and regions, Panels is just much easier to administer, and has the added advantage of being exportable.
Although its possible to achieve the results without using Panels at all as indicated by mirzu's answer above but I would highly recommend you to use Panels module, because Panels are nothing but visual page builders that allow you to change your page's layout by simple drag and drop. You can define and customize your layouts easily (without touching any CSS or HTML) right from the front end.
Panels also allow you to embed content (views, nodes, mini-panels etc) within regions that you can specify in the layout which allows tremendous page customization.
IMHO Panels module is quite easy to configure and saves a lot of time and you should use it instead of the block/region combination.

Modules for Laying Out Content-submission Forms

In reviewing Drupal layout modules, I'm left with the impression that while many exist for formatting existing content (e.g. Panels, Views and Display Suite), there are very few (if any) that focus on changing the layout of content-submission forms - and therefore there's no alternative but modifying the associated templates themselves. Is this a correct impression? And if so, I'm curious as to why so little focus on content-submission modules. Thank you very much.
Panels will let you change the node/add node/edit forms.
