# Provides functionality for working with JavaScript in your views.
#
# == Ajax, controls and visual effects
#
# * For information on using Ajax, see
# ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper.
# * For information on using controls and visual effects, see
# ActionView::Helpers::ScriptaculousHelper.
#
# == Including the JavaScript libraries into your pages
#
# Rails includes the Prototype JavaScript framework and the Scriptaculous
# JavaScript controls and visual effects library. If you wish to use
# these libraries and their helpers (ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper
# and ActionView::Helpers::ScriptaculousHelper), you must do one of the
# following:
#
# * Use <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> in the HEAD
# section of your page (recommended): This function will return
# references to the JavaScript files created by the +rails+ command in
# your public/javascripts directory. Using it is recommended as
# the browser can then cache the libraries instead of fetching all the
# functions anew on every request.
# * Use <%= javascript_include_tag 'prototype' %>: As above, but
# will only include the Prototype core library, which means you are able
# to use all basic AJAX functionality. For the Scriptaculous-based
# JavaScript helpers, like visual effects, autocompletion, drag and drop
# and so on, you should use the method described above.
#
# For documentation on +javascript_include_tag+ see
# ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper.

# Returns a link of the given +name+ that will trigger a JavaScript +function+ using the
# onclick handler and return false after the fact.
#
# The first argument +name+ is used as the link text.
#
# The next arguments are optional and may include the javascript function definition and a hash of html_options.
#
# The +function+ argument can be omitted in favor of an +update_page+
# block, which evaluates to a string when the template is rendered
# (instead of making an Ajax request first).
#
# The +html_options+ will accept a hash of html attributes for the link tag. Some examples are :class => "nav_button", :id => "articles_nav_button"
#
# Note: if you choose to specify the javascript function in a block, but would like to pass html_options, set the +function+ parameter to nil
#
#
# Examples:
# link_to_function "Greeting", "alert('Hello world!')"
# Produces:
# Greeting
#
# link_to_function(image_tag("delete"), "if (confirm('Really?')) do_delete()")
