  module Helpers
    # Provides a set of helpers for calling Scriptaculous 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.
    module ScriptaculousHelper

      end
      
      # Returns a JavaScript snippet to be used on the Ajax callbacks for
      # starting visual effects.
      #
      # Example:
      #   <%= link_to_remote "Reload", :update => "posts", 
      #         :url => { :action => "reload" }, 
      #         :complete => visual_effect(:highlight, "posts", :duration => 0.5)
      #
      # 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_receving_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 :toggle_appear, :toggle_slide, and
      # :toggle_blind 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.

      #     page.visual_effect(:fade, 'dom_id')
