0002Scriptaculous Helpers
0003
0004Provides a set of helpers for calling Scriptaculous JavaScript
0005functions, including those which create Ajax controls and visual effects.
0006
0007To be able to use these helpers, you must include the Prototype
0008JavaScript framework and the Scriptaculous JavaScript library in your
0009pages.
0010
0011The Scriptaculous helpers' behavior can be tweaked with various options.
0012See the documentation at http://script.aculo.us for more information on
0013using these helpers in your application.

0024 Returns a JavaScript snippet to be used on the Ajax callbacks for
0025 starting visual effects.
0026
0027 Example::
0028
0029 <% link_to_remote("Reload",
0030 dict(url=url(action="reload"),
0031 update="posts",
0032 complete=visual_effect('highlight', "posts", duration=0.5))) %>
0033
0034 If no element_id is given, it assumes "element" which should be a local
0035 variable in the generated JavaScript execution context. This can be
0036 used for example with drop_receiving_element::
0037
0038 <% drop_receving_element('some_element', loading=visual_effect('fade')) %>
0039
0040 This would fade the element that was dropped on the drop receiving
0041 element.
0042
0043 For toggling visual effects, you can use ``toggle_appear``, ``toggle_slide``, and
0044 ``toggle_blind`` which will alternate between appear/fade, slidedown/slideup, and
0045 blinddown/blindup respectively.
0046
0047 You can change the behaviour with various options, see
0048 http://script.aculo.us for more documentation.

0079 Makes the element with the DOM ID specified by ``element_id`` sortable.
0080
0081 Uses drag-and-drop and makes an Ajax call whenever the sort order has
0082 changed. By default, the action called gets the serialized sortable
0083 element as parameters.

0085 Example::
0086
0087 <% sortable_element("my_list", url=url(action="order")) %>
0088
0089 In the example, the server-side action gets a "my_list" array

0091 sortable consists of, in the current order (like
0092 ``mylist=item1&mylist=item2``, where ``item1`` and ``item2`` are
0093 the ids of the ``<li>`` elements).
0094
0095 Note: For this to work, the sortable elements must have id
0096 attributes in the form ``string_identifier``. For example,
0097 ``item_1``. Only the identifier part of the id attribute will be
0098 serialized.
