Great article!

I'm truly a newbie when it comes to RoR and this kind of posts are really helpful for me.

Just one thing, in the very first example of jQuery, you are using the attribute target with the value "blank", when it should be the reserved name "_blank", so it opens a new window for each link, instead of using the window named "blank" for all the links.

Cheers :)

Man, I sure hope this works. I’m a frontend developer (read CSS tech head), and about 90% into the project, my client said “oh yeah, hey, rails has these helpers… scriptaculous will explode because of your jquery” lolol.

Of course, she’s only using helpers, so if jRails works, it’ll be a godsend. I find out tomorrow. Cross your fingers!

Nice article. jQuery seems a lot nicer in these examples, but it can get pretty messy pretty quickly. I recently wrote a in-browser code editor with prototype, and I think it would’ve been scruffy with jQuery.
