jQuery Forum

Ick.
Rails.
I'm sure it could be done though. Is there any real interest in it?
Rails is pretty heavily tired to Prototype. I could take a look at it.

We use nothing but jQuery with our rails application and it works just fine.  We do not have any real helpers for it... we just had to rewrite any functionality that was lacking (such as autocomplete)

I've done quite a bit with Rails & jQuery. It's an interesting idea
to have jQuery helpers, but in some ways there's a disconnect between
the "RJS way" and the "jQuery way." RJS tends to give you a lot of
inline javascript embedded directly within onclick event handlers on
the page. jQuery on the other hand promotes external .js files, with all your event handlers initialized in a .ready() function.
To me, the jQuery way of doing it is better -- you maintain the traditional separation of markup and javascript code in separate files, and your rendered html stays a lot cleaner.
