+    #
+    # To be able to use these helpers, you must include the Prototype

+    # ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper for more information on including

+      # 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.

+      # Examples:

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

+      #     :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:
+      #   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:
+      #   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:
+      #   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

+      # 
+      # Additional options are:
+      # <tt>:frequency</tt>:: The frequency (in seconds) at which changes to
+      #                       this field will be detected. Not setting this

+      #                       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. This defaults
+      #                       to 'value', which in the evaluated context 
+      #                       refers to the new field value. If you specify a
+      #                       string without a "=", it'll be extended to mean

+      #                       So :with => "term" gives "'term'=value". If a "=" is
+      #                       present, no extension will happen.
+      # <tt>:on</tt>::        Specifies which event handler to observe. By default,
+      #                       it's set to "changed" for text fields and areas and
+      #                       "click" for radio buttons and checkboxes. With this,
+      #                       you can specify it instead to be "blur" or "focus" or
+      #                       any other event.
