+module ActionView
+  module Helpers
+    # Prototype[http://www.prototypejs.org/] is a JavaScript library that provides
+    # DOM[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model] manipulation, 
+    # Ajax[http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php]
+    # functionality, and more traditional object-oriented facilities for JavaScript.  
+    # This module provides a set of helpers to make it more convenient to call
+    # functions from Prototype using Rails, including functionality to call remote 
+    # Rails methods (that is, making a background request to a Rails action) using Ajax. 
+    # This means that you can call actions in your controllers without 
+    # reloading the page, but still update certain parts of it using 
+    # injections into the DOM. A common use case is having a form that adds
+    # a new element to a list without reloading the page or updating a shopping
+    # cart total when a new item is added.
+    #
+    # == Usage
+    # To be able to use these helpers, you must first include the Prototype 
+    # JavaScript framework in your pages. 
+    #
+    #  javascript_include_tag 'prototype'
+    #
+    # (See the documentation for 
+    # ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper for more information on including
+    # this and other JavaScript files in your Rails templates.)
+    #
+    # Now you're ready to call a remote action either through a link...
+    #
+    #  link_to_remote "Add to cart",
+    #    :url => { :action => "add", :id => product.id },
+    #    :update => { :success => "cart", :failure => "error" }  
+    #
+    # ...through a form...
+    #
+    #  <% form_remote_tag :url => '/shipping' do -%>
+    #    <div><%= submit_tag 'Recalculate Shipping' %></div>
+    #  <% end -%>
+    #
+    # ...periodically...
+    #
+    #  periodically_call_remote(:url => 'update', :frequency => '5', :update => 'ticker')
+    #
+    # ...or through an observer (i.e., a form or field that is observed and calls a remote
+    # action when changed).
+    #
+    #  <%= observe_field(:searchbox,
+    #       :url => { :action => :live_search }),
+    #       :frequency => 0.5,
+    #       :update => :hits,
+    #       :with => 'query'
+    #       %>
+    # 
+    # As you can see, there are numerous ways to use Prototype's Ajax functions (and actually more than 
+    # are listed here); check out the documentation for each method to find out more about its usage and options.
+    #
+    # === Common Options
+    # See link_to_remote for documentation of options common to all Ajax
+    # helpers; any of the options specified by link_to_remote can be used
+    # by the other helpers.
+    #
+    # == Designing your Rails actions for Ajax
+    # When building your action handlers (that is, the Rails actions that receive your background requests), it's
+    # important to remember a few things.  First, whatever your action would normall return to the browser, it will
+    # return to the Ajax call.  As such, you typically don't want to render with a layout.  This call will cause
+    # the layout to be transmitted back to your page, and, if you have a full HTML/CSS, will likely mess a lot of things up. 
+    # You can turn the layout off on particular actions by doing the following:
+    #
+    #  class SiteController < ActionController::Base
+    #    layout "standard", :except => [:ajax_method, :more_ajax, :another_ajax]
+    #  end
+    #
+    # Optionally, you could do this in the method you wish to lack a layout:
+    #
+    #  render :layout => false
+    #
+    # You can tell the type of request from within your action using the <tt>request.xhr?</tt> (XmlHttpRequest, the 
+    # method that Ajax uses to make background requests) method.  
+    #  def name
+    #    # Is this an XmlHttpRequest request?
+    #    if (request.xhr?)
+    #      render :text => @name.to_s
+    #    else
+    #      # No?  Then render an action.
+    #      render :action => 'view_attribute', :attr => @name
+    #    end
+    #  end
+    #
+    # The else clause can be left off and the current action will render with full layout and template. An extension
+    # to this solution was posted to Ryan Heneise's blog at ArtOfMission["http://www.artofmission.com/"].
+    #
+    #  layout proc{ |c| c.request.xhr? ? false : "application" }
+    #
+    # Dropping this in your ApplicationController turns the layout off for every request that is an "xhr" request.
+    #
+    # If you are just returning a little data or don't want to build a template for your output, you may opt to simply 
+    # render text output, like this:
+    #
+    #  render :text => 'Return this from my method!'
+    #
+    # Since whatever the method returns is injected into the DOM, this will simply inject some text (or HTML, if you
+    # tell it to).  This is usually how small updates, such updating a cart total or a file count, are handled.
+    #
+    # == Updating multiple elements
+    # See JavaScriptGenerator for information on updating multiple elements
+    # on the page in an Ajax response.

+      # DOM object whose id can be specified with <tt>options[:update]</tt>. 
+      # Usually, the result would be a partial prepared by the controller with
+      # render :partial. 
+      #

+      #     :url => { :action => "list_emails" })

+      # You can override the generated HTML options by specifying a hash in
+      # <tt>options[:html]</tt>.
+      #  
+      #   link_to_remote "Delete this post", :update => "posts",
+      #     :url  => post_url(@post), :method => :delete, 
+      #     :html => { :class  => "destructive" } 
+      #
+      # You can also specify a hash for <tt>options[:update]</tt> to allow for
+      # easy redirection of output to an other DOM element if a server-side 
+      # error occurs:
+      #
+      # Example:
+      #   # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater({success:'posts',failure:'error'}, '/blog/destroy/5', 
+      #   #            {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true}); return false;">Delete this post</a>
+      #   link_to_remote "Delete this post",
+      #     :url => { :action => "destroy", :id => post.id },
+      #     :update => { :success => "posts", :failure => "error" }
+      #
+      # Optionally, you can use the <tt>options[:position]</tt> parameter to 
+      # influence how the target DOM element is updated. It must be one of 
+      # <tt>:before</tt>, <tt>:top</tt>, <tt>:bottom</tt>, or <tt>:after</tt>.
+      #
+      # The method used is by default POST. You can also specify GET or you
+      # can simulate PUT or DELETE over POST. All specified with <tt>options[:method]</tt>
+      #
+      # Example:
+      #   # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/person/4', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, method:'delete'}); 
+      #   #            return false;">Destroy</a>
+      #   link_to_remote "Destroy", :url => person_url(:id => person), :method => :delete
+      #
+      # By default, these remote requests are processed asynchronous during 
+      # which various JavaScript callbacks can be triggered (for progress 
+      # indicators and the likes). All callbacks get access to the 
+      # <tt>request</tt> object, which holds the underlying XMLHttpRequest. 
+      #
+      # To access the server response, use <tt>request.responseText</tt>, to
+      # find out the HTTP status, use <tt>request.status</tt>.
+      #
+      # Example:
+      #   # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/words/undo?n=33', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, 
+      #   #            onComplete:function(request){undoRequestCompleted(request)}}); return false;">hello</a>
+      #   word = 'hello'
+      #   link_to_remote word,
+      #     :url => { :action => "undo", :n => word_counter },
+      #     :complete => "undoRequestCompleted(request)"
+      #
+      # The callbacks that may be specified are (in order):
+      #
+      # <tt>:loading</tt>::       Called when the remote document is being 
+      #                           loaded with data by the browser.
+      # <tt>:loaded</tt>::        Called when the browser has finished loading
+      #                           the remote document.
+      # <tt>:interactive</tt>::   Called when the user can interact with the 
+      #                           remote document, even though it has not 
+      #                           finished loading.
+      # <tt>:success</tt>::       Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed,
+      #                           and the HTTP status code is in the 2XX range.
+      # <tt>:failure</tt>::       Called when the XMLHttpRequest is completed,
+      #                           and the HTTP status code is not in the 2XX
+      #                           range.
+      # <tt>:complete</tt>::      Called when the XMLHttpRequest is complete 
+      #                           (fires after success/failure if they are 
+      #                           present).
+      #                     
+      # You can further refine <tt>:success</tt> and <tt>:failure</tt> by 
+      # adding additional callbacks for specific status codes.
+      #
+      # Example:
+      #   # Generates: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/testing/action', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, 
+      #   #            on404:function(request){alert('Not found...? Wrong URL...?')}, 
+      #   #            onFailure:function(request){alert('HTTP Error ' + request.status + '!')}}); return false;">hello</a>
+      #   link_to_remote word,
+      #     :url => { :action => "action" },
+      #     404 => "alert('Not found...? Wrong URL...?')",
+      #     :failure => "alert('HTTP Error ' + request.status + '!')"
+      #
+      # A status code callback overrides the success/failure handlers if 
+      # present.
+      #
+      # If you for some reason or another need synchronous processing (that'll
+      # block the browser while the request is happening), you can specify 
+      # <tt>options[:type] = :synchronous</tt>.
+      #
+      # You can customize further browser side call logic by passing in
+      # JavaScript code snippets via some optional parameters. In their order 
+      # of use these are:
+      #
+      # <tt>:confirm</tt>::      Adds confirmation dialog.
+      # <tt>:condition</tt>::    Perform remote request conditionally
+      #                          by this expression. Use this to
+      #                          describe browser-side conditions when
+      #                          request should not be initiated.
+      # <tt>:before</tt>::       Called before request is initiated.
+      # <tt>:after</tt>::        Called immediately after request was
+      #                          initiated and before <tt>:loading</tt>.
+      # <tt>:submit</tt>::       Specifies the DOM element ID that's used
+      #                          as the parent of the form elements. By 
+      #                          default this is the current form, but
+      #                          it could just as well be the ID of a
+      #                          table row or any other DOM element.
+      # <tt>:with</tt>::         A JavaScript expression specifying
+      #                          the parameters for the XMLHttpRequest.
+      #                          Any expressions should return a valid
+      #                          URL query string.
+      #
+      #                          Example:
+      #                          
+      #                            :with => "'name=' + $('name').value"
+      #
+      # You can generate a link that uses AJAX in the general case, while 
+      # degrading gracefully to plain link behavior in the absence of
+      # JavaScript by setting <tt>html_options[:href]</tt> to an alternate URL.
+      # Note the extra curly braces around the <tt>options</tt> hash separate
+      # it as the second parameter from <tt>html_options</tt>, the third.
+      #
+      # Example:
+      #   link_to_remote "Delete this post",
+      #     { :update => "posts", :url => { :action => "destroy", :id => post.id } },
+      #     :href => url_for(:action => "destroy", :id => post.id)
+      def link_to_remote(name, options = {}, html_options = nil)  
+        link_to_function(name, remote_function(options), html_options || options.delete(:html))
+      end
+
+      # Periodically calls the specified url (<tt>options[:url]</tt>) every
+      # <tt>options[:frequency]</tt> seconds (default is 10). Usually used to
+      # update a specified div (<tt>options[:update]</tt>) with the results
+      # of the remote call. The options for specifying the target with <tt>:url</tt>
+      # and defining callbacks is the same as link_to_remote.
+      # Examples:
+      #  # Call get_averages and put its results in 'avg' every 10 seconds
+      #  # Generates: 
+      #  #      new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {new Ajax.Updater('avg', '/grades/get_averages', 
+      #  #      {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}, 10)
+      #  periodically_call_remote(:url => { :action => 'get_averages' }, :update => 'avg')
+      #
+      #  # Call invoice every 10 seconds with the id of the customer
+      #  # If it succeeds, update the invoice DIV; if it fails, update the error DIV
+      #  # Generates:
+      #  #      new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {new Ajax.Updater({success:'invoice',failure:'error'}, 
+      #  #      '/testing/invoice/16', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}, 10)
+      #  periodically_call_remote(:url => { :action => 'invoice', :id => customer.id },
+      #     :update => { :success => "invoice", :failure => "error" }
+      #
+      #  # Call update every 20 seconds and update the new_block DIV
+      #  # Generates:
+      #  # new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {new Ajax.Updater('news_block', 'update', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}, 20)
+      #  periodically_call_remote(:url => 'update', :frequency => '20', :update => 'news_block')
+      #
+      def periodically_call_remote(options = {})
+         frequency = options[:frequency] || 10 # every ten seconds by default
+         code = "new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {#{remote_function(options)}}, #{frequency})"
+         javascript_tag(code)
+      end
+
+      # Returns a form tag that will submit using XMLHttpRequest in the 
+      # background instead of the regular reloading POST arrangement. Even 
+      # though it's using JavaScript to serialize the form elements, the form
+      # submission will work just like a regular submission as viewed by the
+      # receiving side (all elements available in <tt>params</tt>). The options for 
+      # specifying the target with <tt>:url</tt> and defining callbacks is the same as
+      # +link_to_remote+.
+      #
+      # A "fall-through" target for browsers that doesn't do JavaScript can be
+      # specified with the <tt>:action</tt>/<tt>:method</tt> options on <tt>:html</tt>.
+      #
+      # Example:
+      #   # Generates:
+      #   #      <form action="/some/place" method="post" onsubmit="new Ajax.Request('', 
+      #   #      {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)}); return false;">
+      #   form_remote_tag :html => { :action => 
+      #     url_for(:controller => "some", :action => "place") }
+      #
+      # The Hash passed to the <tt>:html</tt> key is equivalent to the options (2nd)
+      # argument in the FormTagHelper.form_tag method.
+      #
+      # By default the fall-through action is the same as the one specified in 
+      # the <tt>:url</tt> (and the default method is <tt>:post</tt>).
+      #
+      # form_remote_tag also takes a block, like form_tag:
+      #   # Generates:
+      #   #     <form action="/" method="post" onsubmit="new Ajax.Request('/', 
+      #   #     {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)});

+      #                       when the field has changed.
+      # <tt>:function</tt>::  Instead of making a remote call to a URL, you
+      #                       can specify javascript code to be called instead.
+      #                       Note that the value of this option is used as the
+      #                       *body* of the javascript function, a function definition
+      #                       with parameters named element and value will be generated for you
+      #                       for example:

+      #                       will generate:
+      #                         new Form.Element.Observer('glass', 1, function(element, value) {alert('Element changed')})
+      #                       The element parameter is the DOM element being observed, and the value is its value at the
+      #                       time the observer is triggered.
+      # 
+      # Additional options are:
+      # <tt>:frequency</tt>:: The frequency (in seconds) at which changes to
+      #                       this field will be detected. Not setting this
+      #                       option at all or to a value equal to or less than
+      #                       zero will use event based observation instead of
+      #                       time based observation.
+      # <tt>:update</tt>::    Specifies the DOM ID of the element whose 
+      #                       innerHTML should be updated with the
+      #                       XMLHttpRequest response text.
+      # <tt>:with</tt>::      A JavaScript expression specifying the parameters
+      #                       for the XMLHttpRequest. The default is to send the
+      #                       key and value of the observed field. Any custom
+      #                       expressions should return a valid URL query string.
+      #                       The value of the field is stored in the JavaScript
+      #                       variable +value+.
+      #
+      #                       Examples
+      #                       
+      #                         :with => "'my_custom_key=' + value"
+      #                         :with => "'person[name]=' + prompt('New name')"
