module UJS
  # The helper methods in this module can all be passed as arguments to apply_behaviour and allow
  # you to reproduce common functionailty such as drag and drop and sorting in a simple way.  Think
  # of them as the apply_javascript equivilent to the Scriptaculous helpers.
  #
  # Usage:
  #
  #    apply_behaviour '.products', make_draggable
  #    apply_behaviour '.help', make_remote_link( :action => 'showhelp' )
  #    apply_behaviour '.todolist', make_sortable
