jQuery and Ruby Web Frameworks
The document discusses how to integrate jQuery and JavaScript functionality into Ruby on Rails and Merb web applications. Key points include: - Rails and Merb do not have built-in helpers for jQuery, but jQuery is easy to use and Ruby helpers can be written to support it - The frameworks produce consistent markup that jQuery code can be written to add interactive behavior to - Options like metadata can be passed to jQuery plugins via the markup generated by helpers - Helpers, jQuery code, and techniques like the <base> tag allow JavaScript features to be unobtrusively integrated into the MVC frameworks
