    # Provides a set of helpers for calling Scriptaculous[http://script.aculo.us/]
    # JavaScript functions, including those which create Ajax controls and visual
    # effects.
    #
    # To be able to use these helpers, you must include the Prototype
    # JavaScript framework and the Scriptaculous JavaScript library in your
    # pages. See the documentation for ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper
    # for more information on including the necessary JavaScript.
    #
    # The Scriptaculous helpers' behavior can be tweaked with various options.
    #
    # See the documentation at http://script.aculo.us for more information on
    # using these helpers in your application.

      # Returns a JavaScript snippet to be used on the Ajax callbacks for
      # starting visual effects.
      #
      # If no +element_id+ is given, it assumes "element" which should be a local
      # variable in the generated JavaScript execution context. This can be
      # used for example with +drop_receiving_element+:
      #
      #   <%= drop_receiving_element (...), :loading => visual_effect(:fade) %>
      #
      # This would fade the element that was dropped on the drop receiving
      # element.
      #
      # For toggling visual effects, you can use <tt>:toggle_appear</tt>, <tt>:toggle_slide</tt>, and
      # <tt>:toggle_blind</tt> which will alternate between appear/fade, slidedown/slideup, and
      # blinddown/blindup respectively.
      #
      # You can change the behaviour with various options, see
      # http://script.aculo.us for more documentation.

      # Makes the element with the DOM ID specified by +element_id+ sortable
      # by drag-and-drop and make an Ajax call whenever the sort order has
      # changed. By default, the action called gets the serialized sortable
      # element as parameters.
      #
      # Example:
      #
      #   <%= sortable_element("my_list", :url => { :action => "order" }) %>
      #
      # In the example, the action gets a "my_list" array parameter
      # containing the values of the ids of elements the sortable consists
      # of, in the current order.
      #
      # Important: For this to work, the sortable elements must have id
      # attributes in the form "string_identifier". For example, "item_1". Only
      # the identifier part of the id attribute will be serialized.
      #
      # Additional +options+ are:
      #
      # * <tt>:format</tt> - A regular expression to determine what to send as the
      #   serialized id to the server (the default is <tt>/^[^_]*_(.*)$/</tt>).
      #
      # * <tt>:constraint</tt> - Whether to constrain the dragging to either
      #   <tt>:horizontal</tt> or <tt>:vertical</tt> (or false to make it unconstrained).
      #
      # * <tt>:overlap</tt> - Calculate the item overlap in the <tt>:horizontal</tt>
      #   or <tt>:vertical</tt> direction.
      #
      # * <tt>:tag</tt> - Which children of the container element to treat as
      #   sortable (default is <tt>li</tt>).
      #
      # * <tt>:containment</tt> - Takes an element or array of elements to treat as
      #   potential drop targets (defaults to the original target element).
      #
      # * <tt>:only</tt> - A CSS class name or array of class names used to filter
      #   out child elements as candidates.
      #
      # * <tt>:scroll</tt> - Determines whether to scroll the list during drag
      #   operations if the list runs past the visual border.
      #
      # * <tt>:tree</tt> - Determines whether to treat nested lists as part of the
      #   main sortable list. This means that you can create multi-layer lists,
      #   and not only sort items at the same level, but drag and sort items
      #   between levels.
      #
      # * <tt>:hoverclass</tt> - If set, the Droppable will have this additional CSS class
      #   when an accepted Draggable is hovered over it.
      #
      # * <tt>:handle</tt> - Sets whether the element should only be draggable by an
      #   embedded handle. The value may be a string referencing a CSS class value
      #   (as of script.aculo.us V1.5). The first child/grandchild/etc. element
      #   found within the element that has this CSS class value will be used as
      #   the handle.
      #
      # * <tt>:ghosting</tt> - Clones the element and drags the clone, leaving
      #   the original in place until the clone is dropped (default is <tt>false</tt>).
      #
      # * <tt>:dropOnEmpty</tt> - If true the Sortable container will be made into
      #   a Droppable, that can receive a Draggable (as according to the containment
      #   rules) as a child element when there are no more elements inside (default
      #   is <tt>false</tt>).
      #
      # * <tt>:onChange</tt> - Called whenever the sort order changes while dragging. When
      #   dragging from one Sortable to another, the callback is called once on each
      #   Sortable. Gets the affected element as its parameter.
      #
      # * <tt>:onUpdate</tt> - Called when the drag ends and the Sortable's order is
      #   changed in any way. When dragging from one Sortable to another, the callback
      #   is called once on each Sortable. Gets the container as its parameter.
      #
      # See http://script.aculo.us for more documentation.

      #
      # * <tt>:hoverclass</tt> - If set, the +drop_receiving_element+ will have

      #
      # * <tt>:onDrop</tt> - Called when a +draggable_element+ is dropped onto
      #   this element. Override this callback with a JavaScript expression to
      #   change the default drop behaviour. Example:
      #
      #     :onDrop => "function(draggable_element, droppable_element, event) { alert('I like bananas') }"

      #   This callback gets three parameters: The Draggable element, the Droppable
      #   element and the Event object. You can extract additional information about
      #   the drop - like if the Ctrl or Shift keys were pressed - from the Event object.
      #
      # * <tt>:with</tt> - A JavaScript expression specifying the parameters for
      #   the XMLHttpRequest. Any expressions should return a valid URL query string.
