3.7. Summary

In this chapter, we explored Rails' Prototype helpersstarting with simple links and moving on to Ajax links and all their permutations. The discussion of link_to_remote is foundational to Ajax on Rails, because its options and callbacks are echoed through every other Ajax-related helper in the framework. After links we moved on to richer forms of interaction: buttons and forms, in their traditional and Ajaxified guises.

In the next chapter, we'll build on this foundation and use script.aculo.us to create even richer experiences.
