Thank you very much for the tip! I'm still getting the hang of Rails and
Ruby. It was a way that worked quickly for me, but your way makes a lot
more sense.

Perfect! Thank you very much. I've been working on this problem forever.
Honestly had no idea how to achieve that functionality. I mainly wanted
5 items at a time. Didn't really care how I got there (thought JS would
be the quickest, that's why I posted this), so thank you very much for
the solution!
