Link Details

Luckily, I discovered jRails, which replaces the Prototype parts of Rails with a custom fork of jQuery, jQuery FX and jQuery UI. With jRails installed, all of the familiar Rails helpers function as usual: form_remote_for, observe_form and link_to_remote. But under the hood, they're running on jQuery instead of Prototype, which makes it much easier to integrate your custom, client-side jQuery-style JavaScript with the auto-generated stuff Rails spits out.
