Aah, what you ask is easy with jquery. And ridiculously easy with coffeescript. but adding dependencies doesn't sound good... does it? really? I wonder, who still uses prototype around here? who does _not_ use jquery along with active_scaffold?
I looked at that fork you mentioned, it relays on "surpass" to provide xls support, however that's way old and abandoned. But the way bonefish implemented might be useful to implement axlsx. I would like to *not* force axlsx dependency, but if present, use it, as main active_scaffold does with many other gems.
