Very true, that's why I mentioned Rails generated JS because you don't actually need to know JS to start using it if you let Rails generate it for you. True, as Marnen mentioned the generated code is not really pretty, but it works and if you ask a boss or customer what is that they prefer, pretty vs. working code, I can tell you that not 100 but 200% of them will choose working. ;) The good thing about Rails generated JS is that there are good tutorials and books. I personally love the Ajax on Rails book by O'Reilly, if it's of any use to the OP. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
