  module Helpers
    # 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 <tt><%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %></tt> in the HEAD
    #   section of your page (recommended): This function will return
    #   references to the JavaScript files created by the +rails+ command in
    #   your <tt>public/javascripts</tt> directory. Using it is recommended as
    #   the browser can then cache the libraries instead of fetching all the
    #   functions anew on every request.
    # * Use <tt><%= javascript_include_tag 'prototype' %></tt>: 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.
